Hi Werner,

the crux is the 'location'- tags in the ts xml, like:

<location
filename="../src/plugins/coordinate_capture/coordinatecapture.cpp"
line="96"/>

if you see these in your ts file you are able to see the dialogs in
linguist.

My guess is that transifex 'washes' these away when you upload/download
a ts file.

As you can see the latest 'de' ts file:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/i18n/qgis_de.ts

compared to a historical (pre tx) ts file:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qgis/QGIS/071fa924bec6c79fd3019af169627150c9dbb12c/i18n/qgis_de.ts

you can see the 'location' tags are missing in the latest (from tx) file.

I do not think it is doable for transifex to keep those, so only way is
to create the ts files yourself (which is not trivial, have a look into
the history of the update_ts_files.sh in the scripts dir)
