I've just checked and the strings are all their in the ThemeUI context. Use 
the 'Find' feature of linguist.

If they are still not in your copy, re-run "lupdate -no-obsolete -locations 
absolute -no-sort translate.pro".

It's translated as we read the text from the xml. We take the English? string 
in <text> and have QT look up the translated version from the qm. The version 
in in the xml will override it, so it's important that if you change the 
translation your patch should remove the old <text lang="?">...</text> from 
the xml too.
