Recent KDE or Qt applications have started having their translation saved and updated in the '.ts' Translation Source format. This format is different to the '.po' format that Rosetta currently supports.

The following page has some information about Qt Linguist, a translation application that speaks this file format:

According to the following page, the "web-based Pootle" supported several formats, including '.ts' files:

This is an XML-based format that looks like:

<!DOCTYPE TS><TS>
  <context>
    <name></name>
    <message>
        <source>Colors</source>
        <translation>Colours</translation>
    </message>
  </context>
</TS>
