Yes, the code needs ' since it's passed to QDateTime::toString.

The quotes are not shown to the user, they are used to mark a section as "this is \
text, just pass it though, don't try to do MMM or yyyy substitution here".

Given that the translation comment is already already very long, what would you \
suggest?

Cheers,
