You win by seeing an understandable list of sorted transitions.

Yes i wondered how it would play out in different languages.

Well we have Dissolve in the middle of the list and Fine Dissolve at the bottom
of the list, so they are not always nicely placed together. Maybe it would be
useful to have them sorted within groups, so related transitions stay together.
I've seem similar grouping done in Powerpoint, WPS Presentation and iWork
Keynote.

I have also suggested in bug 87621, that transition variants/directions could
be moved to its own list in the sidebar to make the list easier to go through.
