Most likely an array of words ("mot" (fr) == "word" (en)), presumably loaded somewhere depending on the selected language, the phase of the Moon, the phase of Venus as seen from Mars, the colour of the user's socks, or some other criterion I cannot imagine.
Also, that code block shows a different problem - it formats currency as {numbers} {symbol} e.g. 1 946,27 €. It's an inversion of the usual culturally insensitive treatment of such things as perpetrated by Americans (where they put the currency symbol first with commas to separate thousands etc. for everyone).
It tells me they are storing date-times as strings containing JSON.

Um, excuse me? In the UK we use currency symbol first followed by numbers separated by commas. I suspect a lot of places that used to be in the British Empire do. Unusually, it isn't an American thing.
