Hmmm...

lpsg:~$ LANG=fr date --help
Usage: date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]
   ou: date [OPTION] [MMJJhhmm[[SS]AA][.ss]]
Afficher la date courante selon le FORMAT spécifié, ou
initialiser la date du système.

  -d, --date=FORMAT        afficher la date selon le FORMAT décrit,

[...]

lpsg:~$ LANG=fr date
Wed Jan 13 23:24:21 GMT 1999
lpsg:~$ LANG=fr_FR date
mer jan 13 23:24:25 GMT 1999
