In the German localization, the topic timer says “nach ein Monat”.  
After “nach” follows a Dativ, so it should be “nach einem Monat”.

This used to be hackable by changing the translation key `datetime.distance_in_words.about_x_months.one` but that does not seem to be working anymore.

I am unable to find where this is happening.
