I wasn't able to see the problem because the link to
/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_TIME/coreutils.mo is broken on Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04
(I've reported the problem).
The French translation of coreutils contains many mistakes and it's wrong to use
the same translation as the English one for dates:
#: src/ls.c:698
msgid "%b %e %Y"
msgstr "%b %e %Y" -> "%e %b %Y"
#: src/ls.c:706
msgid "%b %e %H:%M"
msgstr "%b %e %H:%M" -> "%e %b %H:%M"
but I can't fix the alignment problem with this simple string (do you see the
hack before the %Y?).
I'll continue to discuss the problem on the coreutils list.
