Daniel than you for your reply. GNOME files are not the problem. I have a complete control over those, I'm obviously looking for strings that come from other packages. I find a lot of them in freedesktop.org, many times also in TP-Project. But searching takes time.
There used to be a PPA for ubuntu *ubuntu-translations-**coordi**nators* that included *ubuntu-l10n-tool*, a package that did right that, but it is unactive for years. I'm sure there is a way to search in e.g. .mo files on my sistem. If I find that file, I know, where the string is.
