If you mean phrases inside files, something like
find / -type f | xargs grep "My phrase looks like this"
should do the job. If you're not sure of the case of your phrase, use grep -i.
If you're talking about the filenames themselves, standard find will do the trick
find / -name "*some_part_of_filename*" -type f
There is more than one way to do this, by the way
Cheers

NAME
ecppl - language-extractor for ecpp
SYNOPSIS
ecppl [-I dir] [-ln] [-o output-filename] ecpp-filename
DESCRIPTION
Ecppl is the language-extractor for ecpp. Ecpp - the template-language used with tntnet - supports internationalized applications. In
ecpp-templates a tag <i18n> changes the meaning of curly braces. A phrase, which is enclosed in curly braces, can be translated. At run-
time the phrase is looked up in a language-library. This mode can be quit with the tag </i18n>. Phrases must not have newlines or tabs.
Every phrase, which is marked as translatable, is extracted with ecppl and written to standard output or to a specified output-filename
line by line.
OPTIONS
-I dir Search include-files in directory. This option can be passed multiple times. All specified directories are searched in turn for
include-files.
-l Extract language-phrases (the default)
-n Extract non-language-phrases
-o filename
Specify output filename
