Ah, I misread this earlier - strtotime(), not strftime(). You're
talking about transforming from text to a locale()-neutral format. I
don't think strtotime() is locale-sensitive - according to the manual:
"The function [strtotime] expects to be given a string containing an
English date format"
Strtotime can read a number of formats, but does (from experience) have
problems with some. It won't work with textual dates in anything but
English, far as I know.

Is there an example of the different date formats so that we can see
what we're working with here? It sounds like it might require a little
manual intervention first (str_replace() maybe) in order for this to
work.
Thanks,

So basically, the answer is no :)
Looks like I'll simply do a replace of the French named months with
English ones.
Would have thought the length of time that PHP has been around and with
people around the world, speaking more than just one language, that
language support would have progressed further than it appears to have.
Apparently not.
But thanks for all the suggestions.
