Here's a one-liner to use in the mandriva directory: 

find . -name "*.pot" -exec grep -il "connection failed" {} \;

Find in the current directory and all its subdirectories
   files named anything followed by .pot
  for each file, find the string "Connection failed", not case sensitive, and     
  list the file names where this string is found. 

Of course you can search on .po-files as well :-)

Oh, and "Connection failed"  is in network-tools ...
