As long as that format is ensured it should be easy simply create a 
secondary XML document which maps the English names to the French names e.g.

<map>
  <!-- put complete mapping here -->
  <month en="August" fr="Aout"/>
</map>

then load that file with the document function e.g.

<xsl:variable name="month-map" select="document('map.xml')"/>


then define a key e.g.

<xsl:key name="mk" match="month" use="@en"/>

then process e.g.

<xsl:template match="date-printed">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:variable name="em" select="substring-before(., ' ')"/>
    <xsl:for-each select="$month-map">
      <xsl:value-of select="key('mk', $em)/@fr"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
    <xsl:value-of select="concat(' ', substring-after(., ' '))"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:emplate>
