This one is tricky, as it should be reasonable short

People knowing LaTeX (or looking for info in LaTeX docs or asking the
English-spoken lyx-users list) would be better of with
  
    Zitat (quote)   vs.  Zitat (quotation)

(ok, if you set a paragraph to "Zitat", the status line will tell you the
English name)

Another option would be to tell about the difference

   Zitat (Einr�ckung)  vs. Zitat (Abstand)
   
This are the terms used in Format>Dokument>Absatztrennung.
However, this could be misleading, as the quote itself is both, indented
and space surrounded. Would it be clear that this means paragraph
separation?
