I can't remember what I was trying to do at the time, but I think I
wanted to reverse the order on "Status" - of course, the ability to
only look at bugs of a particular status would also be handy - is
there a cleverer way than simply sorting by status and then going
through page after page to where the appropriate one is?

I don't really understand that bug, but the way I'm reading it, it
looks quite different to what I'm asking for. (Which doesn't make what
I'm asking for right - I'd just like it to be clear =))

What I'd like is some way of getting from a page such as
https://beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+source/launchpad-integration/+pots/launchpad-integration/ga/+translate
(the translation page for some package - in this case
launchpad-integration), back to the overall
translations-for-my-language page
(https://beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+lang/ga). I'm not fussy
about which packages I translate - I'd like to be able to navigate by
language and translated-status, rather than by package.

Cool - excellent =)

I think I meant "the user currently logged in" - but I think I
realised a day or two later that whatever I was looking for at the
time, I was looking in the wrong place =)

Thanks a million for all the bug numbers & feedback!
