On my system, the column headers as well as its context menu appear
correctly translated into German. In the nl-NL.ts file I can see that
the context menu entries already have translations. The headers are not
named by octave code but by qt itself and qt hasn't a dutch translation.

The dialog is a qt dialog, so it is not translated. If we want to
translate the strings that are included in the qt-code itself I will
find the related files and also scan those files when updating the
language files.

Concerning the different names, we can set both strings to the same
value, the translation system should be able to handle this.

Seems the tr () function was forgotten (long time ago) when implementing
the about message. IMHO we should translate the "about" message.
