There is a misunderstanding:

.po and .ts files do exactly the same thing, they are both SOURCE files for 
translators. You either translate the .po file OR the .ts file but you NETHER 
translate both.

- -> .po files become obsolete soon and will be deleted in the near future, they 
are a relict from QT2.
- -> .ts files are the follower of .po files, they are the new standard coming 
with QT3.

the .qm files are the binary version of either your .po or your .ts. They 
contain all your translated strings in a binary form, so that QT programs can 
use it. 

The difference between the po or ts files is the way how you translate them: 
for po files you can use KBabel for example or your preferred texteditor, for 
ts files you can use linguist (comes with QT3). 
choose yourself, the resulting .qm will always be the same, doesn't matter if 
you translated the po or the ts file, they both result in the same .qm.

I hope this clears some things up :)
