This is incorrect Yiddish, as it is asking "What time is it?" As in "Once upon a time," i.e. what period of time is it (that you're referring to.) The correct translation is ווי שפייט איז עס? i.e. How late is it, reflecting the German.

Indeed, you're right. It's not the translation of:
Entschuldigung, wie spät ist es?

I'm unlinking the sentence.
