If you had the English months in one column and the French months next
to them like this:

Jan Janvier
Feb Fevrier
Mar Mars
etc

(assume this occupies M1:N12), then you could do:

=VLOOKUP(TEXT(A1,"mmm"),M$1:N$12,2,0)&TEXT(A1," dd, yyyy")

Note that I've only used 3 letters for the English months.

Hope this helps.

How would I go about doing this?
