That's correct.

More seriously, this page originally was a big performance problem for
people with many translations. It is essentially a list of templates
that the person has touched; I had the idea of then adding the latest
translation the person had done to that template. That information is
easily available.

Getting all the translations a person has done for that template is a
next step, but it's a lot more work. I discussed this with Salgado and
we have some ideas of how to navigate and display this, but I still need
to bring this up to a larger audience, because there are additional ways
into which this can expand -- do we want to be able to see /and/ review
or fix translations done by that person in the same step? Or is a
read-only UI sufficient here, and reviewing per-person should be done
elsewhere? We're getting to that point now -- but I needed to first
unbreak the page in order to allow us to go any further.
