Probably a new feature ;).

I'm beginning to suspect the same...

No, I don't see the translated GUI that should be displayed. I checked
the .ts file and found that it doesn't contain any references to the
source files from where the strings are taken (which it should - see the
german file for comparison).
Strangely, running lupdate doesn't have any effect. If I delete all the
files, however, and then run lupdate I get all the correct location lines.

I've written a small script to merge the translations you've already
done with that new file. So try:
1) remove all files in the trans/ folder in your texworks directory
2) copy the file attached to this mail into that folder
3) run lupdate as usual

If all this doesn't work, try running "svn -R ." in the trans/ folder to
revert to the "original" versions.
