I'm using grep for this, quite effectively.  For example, if you are sure
that this string is from /desktop:

$ grep "string to be found" * | less

Or if you want to search recursively use the -R option.
This assumes that you keep all your translations in your repo or local
directories, as grepping in a CVS working copy is painful.
