acronymsformattingglossaries
I use the glossaries package for my glossary and some acronyms:
\usepackage{datatool}
\usepackage[ngerman]{translator}
\usepackage[nonumberlist,acronym,toc,section]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
...
/% Glossary
\printglossary[style=altlist,title=Glossar]
/% Acronyms
\deftranslation[to=German]{Acronyms}{Akronyme}
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,style=long]
Curiously, glossaries makes a period after each acronym.

How can you change that?
The problem here is that you're mixing old and new commands. My original answer that you linked to is several years old and uses commands that are now deprecated, such as \glossarystyle and \glossaryentryfield. Your MWE has changed the deprecated \glossarystyle to \setglossarystyle but hasn't changed the deprecated \glossaryentryfield. By using the new \setglossarystyle, the backward-compatibility is removed and \glossaryentryfield isn't used.
To fix it, just replace \glossaryentryfield with the newer \glossentry:
\renewcommand*{\glossentry}[2]{%
\edef\doifinlocation{\noexpand\ifinlocation{\thechapter}{##2}}%
\doifinlocation
{%
\item \glossentryname{##1} \glossentrydesc{##1}%
}%
}%

First chapter:
Second chapter:
This is possible either with the main glossary and using listdotted as glossary style or defining another special glossary for this.
Please note that listdotted ignores the value of the symbol key, however.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{energy}{name={$E$}, description={Energy}}
\newglossaryentry{speedoflight}{name={$c$}, description={Speed of light}}

Just as cgnieder has said, you have to use the
nopostdotoption.Example:
