It is necessary, because curenly LyX misplaces the \selectlanguage command:
\begin{abstract}
Tämä puolestaan on suomenkielinen tiivistelmä.
\selectlanguage{english}
\end{abstract}
which means that the rest of the document is now considered Finnish.
The correct latex code should be
\begin{abstract}
Tämä puolestaan on suomenkielinen tiivistelmä.
\end{abstract}
\selectlanguage{english}
The second % (in Finnish language) is a workaround for this problem.
I will fix the problem in the next version.

abstract in two languages
I guess this is LaTeX question, but I'm very novice with TeX and LyX user anyway, so here it goes... How can I put two abstracts in a document, one in English and one in Finnish?

How can I put two abstracts in a document, one in English and one in Finnish? I'll assume that the main language of the document is English, and that the English abstract appears first. 1. Change the layout to Abstract and write the English abstract. 2. Press enter. 3. Change language to Finnish by opening layout-character and selecting the Finnish language (all other fields should be "no change"). 4. Select standard layout. Change to latex mode (ctrl+l) 5. Press % and then enter. 6. Change the layout to Abstract and write the Finnish abstract. 7. Press enter. 8. Change layout to Standard. Change to latex mode (ctrl+l) 9. Press % and then enter. 10. Change back to English by pressing the toolbar button "Font".
Re: abstract in two languages
Thank you very much for the very detailed instructions. The LyX people and mailing list are so helpful that I too easily ask here without thinking first much myself. It works, thanks to you, and I attached a gzipped example (I suppose this could be helpful for other non-native-English speakers here too).
