I'm not sure if it's the actual UI of the bundle editor you find complicated, or the amount of (default) stuff in the bundle editor? As for the latter, Mats suggested that TM should ship with only a couple of languages enabled by default, and then let the View -> Language have a “More languages…” option that'd take the user directly to the filtering prefernce.
Maybe slightly related to this, as we are on the topic of UI confusion: In the Language Editor, the button titled "Change filtering...". I have to admit, I personally did not at first understand what it was doing, i.e. that it would change what bundles are viewed. I thought it would mean that maybe it would filter what individual items in each language would show up. In other words, I feel it is not clear at first glance that the languages are in any way "filtered", rather, I am seeing a list of languages and expect that that's it, unless there is a button to tell me otherwise, and that mysterious button called "Change filtering..." somehow doesn't sound like the right thing. Of course it is obvious the moment you press the button, but it is sometimes hard to get to that stage, and it seems some other people have had the same problem as well. I feel something like "Customize Language List" or some such might be a more appropriate choice of name.
Then again, maybe I'm the only one with this problem. :-) Haris
