Context

The notifications feature added to Steemit is great, nothing is more annoying than not being notified when someone is commenting or mentioning you in a post/comment. But the problem is the notifications list is quite noisy especially due to the large amount of upvote notifications.

So I did a quick and simple set of filters.

The work done

I didn't have a lot of time to investigate how the notification API works and if it allows for filter so what I did is simply filtering them at frontend level. The disadvantage of this method is that some filters (resteem for example) will return a small number of entries when others (votes) might have a lot as it is filtering the results from all types of notifications. But still, this is useful as it will allow you to find what you want through the noise.

I also took the opportunity to move static texts into translatable locales.
