I'd avoid the term lattice as there have been requests for Inkscape to support drawing lattice structures. Currently there are 3rd party plugins for ai that are called lattice (or lattice gernerators). It is something inkscape should be able to do based on the already existing clonetiles function.

I'd say that grid is fine, as it is not "allign to the grid" but "align in a grid", which most people would assume to be an orthagonal array.

While we're not in a string freeze yet, would anyone complain if I rename Grid Arrange dialog to Table? Grid has another meaning in Inkscape, and I think Table best describes what this dialog does.

I agree about "grid", but I don't think "table" is a good replacement.

I'm not a native English speaker but would "lattice" make sense in this context? OTOH, even if this is the case it probably raises the problem of finding different words in other languages, too.

So the solution worked out by mental and bulia is probably the best.
