It looks like a bug in Magento 2 core.
It is reproduced when the core tries to translate an empty string (in a way like this: __('')) from a third-party extension (or a design theme).

github.com

magento/magento2/blob/2.1.2/setup/src/Magento/Setup/Module/I18n/Dictionary/Phrase.php#L80-L93


/**
 * Set phrase
 *
 * @param string $phrase
 * @return void
 * @throws \DomainException
 */
public function setPhrase($phrase)
{
    if (!$phrase) {
        throw new \DomainException('Missed phrase');
    }
    $this->_phrase = $phrase;
}

It is not reproduced if a system contains only the core Magento 2 modules.
It is not reproduced if a system contains only the core Magento 2 modules and Mage2.PRO extensions:

So it is a bug in the core, but in is caused by a third-party extension.
I recommend to look the installed third-part extensions (and design themes) source code for the empty translation expressions like __('').

You can find the problem expressions by running the following command from your Magento 2 root folder:

grep -rnw . -e "__('')" -e '__("")'

The output for your store:

./app/code/Magestore/Affiliateplus/view/frontend/templates/account/program.phtml:84: $commissionText = $block->formatPrice($commission) . ’ ’ . __(‘’);
./app/code/Magestore/Affiliateplus/view/frontend/templates/account/program.phtml:91: $secText = $block->formatPrice($secCommission) . ’ ’ . __(‘’);
./app/code/Magestore/Affiliateplus/view/frontend/templates/payment/moneybooker.phtml:69: <?php echo __('') ?>
./app/code/Magestore/Affiliateplus/view/frontend/templates/payment/paypal.phtml:65: <?php echo __('') ?>

As you can see, the problem is because of the «Magestore Affiliateplus» extension.
Report the bug to the extension’s developer.

Thanks @dmitrii_fediuk … it did helped me to find which file was causing the problem, but solving it was not possible by just replacing the qouts from ‘’ to “”, after adding a single space " " it worked
