I am afraid there is no simple and easy solution. My method is:
- find the dialog in UI (if you have no clue where, you can open and see it in Glade thanks to ui 
files)
- open the dialog in 4.2 (new originals) and in 4.1 (old translations)
- find the translated dialog strings in 4.1 po files
- check and copy strings from files to Pootle (suggestions, currently missing, would help a lot 
here)

(Maybe someone uses a better workflow... ?)

It is still a lot of work (that can't be avoided for such changes I think), on the other hand it is 
an opportunity to review the complete dialogs and to fix or improve current translations.
Of course it would be awesome if we could see UI dialogs directly in Pootle like in Glade (maybe 
some offline software allows this, I don't know).

Regards,
Stanislav
