Yes you are. I'm talking about strings like

#: ../dialogs/display-settings/display-dialog.glade.h:7
msgid "gtk-apply"
msgstr ""

and nine others in xfce4-settings (and a few in other Xfce packages)
that can be left blank to use the upstream GTK+ translations. What I'm
asking is if there's a way to use these upstream translations without
leaving the msgstr fields blank, so that these wouldn't show up as
untranslated strings in the translation statistics.
