Hi Sayamindu,

If you can ask them to add a feature in Pootle to start translating from a 
random message, or from a specified message number, it would be great too!
The problem I face is with eToys which has a *big* message file. Pootle offers 
the options to start translating from the first message (or from the last). 
The first (resp. last) bunch of messages have already been translated and 
it's almost impossible to reach an untranslated slice of messages: you have 
to paginate too many times, displaying N messages at a time.
There's a feature to select the untranslated messages, but the web server 
times out before the request completes.
So at the present time, that's almost impossible to continue translating eToys 
with Pootle Web interface.
