Yes but that would require a PressTalk that takes your date and convert it to its french counterpart. Since there is no such function, you would have to build it from scratch.

Now you say "...without workflow...". If the date is already in the data, then yes. But know that the Date() function cannot work in a printer as there is no system date.
