--- Comment #1 from Christoph Feck <cfeck at kde.org> ---
This is caused by the french translations for the single quotations marks.
Dolphin code uses QDateTime::toString() to convert text such as

    'Two weeks ago' (MMMM, yyyy)

to actual dates, such as

    'Two weeks ago' (December, 2018)

The documentation for this function at
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdatetime.html#toString states that "Any sequence of
characters that are enclosed in single quotes will be treated as text and not
be used as an expression."

The french translation of those strings seems to replace the single quotation
marks '...' with typographical quotation marks «...». While the intention is
good, it breaks the formatting of the QDateTime strings.

tl'dr: Please keep single quotes in the Dolphin date format strings when
translating.
