We still have them in the .src files, is that what you are asking?  IIRC
they were not moved to .ui files yet.  I am not aware of any
documentation of this :-(

In your particular case, I think you want to add a String RID_something
in the svx/source/tbxctrls/tbcontrl.src, similar to the others that are
already there.

I'd let it in the .xcu too, the small duplication is not a real problem,
the existing translation will be offered as a fuzzy translation during
the next translation update.
