There's currently a small problem in translating LyX to Finnish:
Finnish has different words for columns of text and columns of tables.
Using the Finnish term for table columns where a term for text columns
should be used looks a bit odd.

Due to gettext limitations the only way (as far as I see) around this
is to use a different phrases for these two things in English (and
other languages) too. This'll, however, break the existing translations...

If you choose to fix it, here's a patch candidate:

Note that if the "Text columns" sounds stupid (I can't tell as I'm not
a native English speaker), it could be changed to something like "Columns ".
(Which is of course an ugly hack.)
