Expansion of globs (*, ?) is a feature of the shell, and the command and arguments for external tools is not passed through a shell.
You’d either have to make the shell your command and pass it the command line to execute, smth like
Exe: bash
Args: -c ‘"%{CurrentProject:QT_INSTALL_BINS}/linguist" “%{CurrentProject:Path}/*.ts”'
(note the double quoting, this is a unix example)
or probably it would be less hassle to create a script that does what you want and call that.
