You can do this with our current version, but there is nothing in the UI.

Just add "?language=pl" to Special:Recentchanges:

https://developer.mozilla.org/Special:Recentchanges?language=pl

Note: You will also see some templates and maybe other sites, because the language is set to invariant language on that pages.

Thanks, very helpful.

:-(

So in this case the bug should be still open.

This is in our new UI now. I guess we can mark this as fixed.

Seeing sites with "invariant language" (e.g. templates) along with language-specific sites works for me because as a localizer you also want to keep templates up to date.

[Hubert Gajewski]

For me - it is not fixed.

*All* changes which I see on https://developer.mozilla.org/Special:Recentchanges?language=pl are not in Polish.

Some of them are related to Japanese templates, other related to user pages like: https://developer.mozilla.org/User:Kakurady

Template pages is not (and must not) associated with any languages in Deki,
even if those are one-language only templates, because Deki language system is bad.

Deki language filter results are the specific language pages and non-language associated pages.

Deki language system is not good system...

I have commented on the MindTouch bug:
http://youtrack.developer.mindtouch.com/issue/MT-7969

What do you think about Guerrics proposal? I think that sounds like a plan.

Comment 8

[Hubert Gajewski]

It sounds reasonable.

As MindTouch is gone, we won't fix this. 

In our new Kuma platform we already provide a recent revisions feed filtered by locale.

For a dashboard I've opened bug 773323. Let's define requirements there.
