Just editing language.dat is not sufficient -- you should also run
texhash after that. Or try texconfig as suggested, check the condition of
language.dat from there and then choose rehash or run texhash or whatever
the topic is. You can see what hyphenation tables are loaded by
viewing the Latex log file (from the Lyx Edit menu).
I also write in Finnish and after I got babel working, it makes
practically no wrong hyphenations. It still sometimes leaves words uncut,
but these are easier to find and correct.
