Here is the command I just used to pull existing translations from the shell.
Maybe you can do the equivalent for those strings.

for l in `cat ~/gnome-3.0/checkoutroot/gnome-shell/po/LINGUAS`; do
export LANGUAGE=$l; text=`gettext 'gnome-shell' 'firmware missing'`;
^Cho -e "\nmsgid \"Firmware missing\"\nmsgstr \"$text\"\n" >> $l.po;
done
