I wasn't aware of the complexity of the workflow when doing
translations. I thought that the functionality was largely independent
of the language, and was therefore completed and tested first, and only
then would the translations be updated (possibly combining the
translations of several functionalities). Skipping whole changesets only
containing translations is easy and quick, but unfortunately not
scrolling past translations to find the functionality.

Thanks for the clarification.

That would be a good option, yes. I was going to suggest per-file
folding in the changeset view, and to fold selected files (e.g. those
matching a glob) by default. But that wouldn't work when viewing the
timeline as an RSS feed in Thunderbird, as JavaScript is disabled there.
