You can add it yourself.

Click on Tools / External / Configure...

Add a "Linguist" entry running
%{CurrentProject:QT_INSTALL_BINS}\linguist.exe on Windows or
%{CurrentProject:QT_INSTALL_BINS}/linguist.exe on Linux.

If the ts files are in the project directory, you may also want to set
the "Working directory" to %{CurrentProject:Path}. With this trick,
Linguist will directly show the directory with the ts files when you
click on File / Open.
