Bug Description

"Clipping path" has been translated as "syväys" in the Finnish
translation. The correct translation is "rajaus" (clipping), or
"rajauspolku" (clipping path).

"Syväys" means how far a ship extends below the surface of the water, and
is a complete non-sequitor in this context.

The version tested was 0.45.

This isn't my translation or anything, but I'd say, that both "rajaus" and
"syväys" can be used in this context.

Besides the maritime term, syväys can be considered a form of "syvätä".
It means clipping, especially the prepress type, where the background of a
photograph is removed.

But yes, I think this word could quite well be changed.

While the term "syväys" is indeed sometimes used in professional jargon,
it is _not_ a generally used term. I, for example, didn't know it, and
would never have found the clipping option if I hadn't used the english
version before and known what menu item was supposed to be there.

Another translation problem with Finnish: in the French installer, the
Finnish entry is: "fi Finish" (sic). It should be "fi finnois".

Will take this issue up with the FI QA team with my finished translation. Meanwhile "syväys" is a proper term to be used here. Translation and qa review will take 2-3 weeks. I'll commit a fix then.

Given that this is low priority and we haven't seen any activity in almost a month... bumping to 0.46.1
