Sometimes, e.g. when a page has already been completely translated into a few languages, as a translation administrator one would like to send out a translation notification for all remaining languages, without bothering translators about the already completed languages. I could see basically two possibilities to integrate this into the UI at Special:NotifyTranslators: 1) Add a checkbox like "Don't notify about languages which are already 100% translated" (I assume that this isn't already the default behavior) 2) Add the option to enter a list of excluded languages (e.g. "Notify all languages except these:", this could be combined with the existing "leave blank to notify for all languages") This second option would be more flexible and also allow for situations where a translation is already being prepared elsewhere to be imported later. But it might be a bit more confusing.
The workaround is rather trivial, I just enter the list of all languages minus those I didn't need (time: 3 minutes). But I agree it would be nice: I didn't even remember if it would automatically skip completed languages, which is a reasonable expectation. (While checking if it did, I found bug 69887.)
