Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Two questions for LO60 translation

A lock-file is a small hidden textfile meant to prevent direct editing 
by others of an open file you are already editing. It's name is formed 
as ".~lock.filename.ext#" and resides in the same folder as the original 
"filename.ext"
Many reasons can be for this lock-file to become corrupted: application 
crashes, premature disconnect of USB-devices, multiple 
application-instances open, antivirus-software at work, etc...

So, to respond to the original question: Yes, this is about this special 
lock-file (but which corresponds to an actual office-file).

Hope this clears things a bit;

P.S. IMHO "Spacing to Contents" is much more gracious and descriptive 
than "Padding", which also kind of suffers from the modern 
"verbing"-syndrome. Maybe it's my age... ;-(
