Exclude files/directories on checkout

I track a project which includes files I don't need/use/change,
e.g. lots of translations for other languages.
All those files change whenever a message in the source is modified,
and then all of them are transfered again at the next checkout.

This results in many useless filetransfers, so I would like
to tell svn not to download those files (except say, english+german).

There is an option "svn:ignore", but as I understand the operation,
this only works for excluding files at checkin.

How can I configure svn to exclude a list of files on checkout ?
