Description Méven Car 2020-11-29 16:43:28 UTC 
SUMMARY

"Folder size displays:" is translated "Affichages de la taille des dossiers"
It should be translated "La taille des dossiers affiche" or ismilar (displays is a verb here)

Another issue with the "Taille du contenu, jusqu'à" "8Niveaux de profondeur", a space is missing, it should be "8 Niveaux de profondeur".

Indeed, most of Dolphin settings are very poorly translated in french.

For instance, “expansible” (only used in physics, applied to a fluid or a gaz) is not the translation of expandable, among many other word-to-word translations…

Hi Bruno,
if you want to help improving the translation, feel free to contact the kde-francophone mailing-list or join us in the web chat: https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/#kde-francophone:kde.org

The po for dolphin is in: https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-support/fr/summit/messages/dolphin/

Translation fixed as demanded.
In addition, rules set by the Fr team had been checked with some fixes for all po files related to Dolphin.
Therefore, in the context with a « : », my opinion is than the initial translation looks more relevant, because a sentence with a verb is not expected.
I don't know if there is any information to support translation to choose between the two solutions.
