Is the date really like this: "Mon, Nov 19, 2018" or is it something similar in french?

The first thing to check is if your data actually in date format (ddd, mmm dd, yyyy
) and let us know

The dates are really like this, but excel see it like a "text" format. That's why it's hard to change the format, it doesn't understand that it's a date. So, my aim problem is not how about the final format will be, but just that excel recognise it like a date...

You can use MATCH to return the correct month:
=DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),MATCH(TRIM(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,3)),{"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"},0),MID(A1,FIND("}}}",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","}}}",2))+1,2))

Open the VBE and in the immediate window put:Activesheet.RAnge("B2").Formula = "=DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),MATCH(TRIM(MID(A1,FIND("" "",A1)+1,3)),{""Jan"",""Feb"",""Mar"",""Apr"",""May"",""Jun"",""Jul"",""Aug"",""Sep"",""Oct"",""Nov"",""Dec""},0),MID(A1,FIND(""}}}"",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"" "",""}}}"",2))+1,2))"
and hit enter. It will put the formula in B1 of the activesheet and make the translation.

Yes it will unless you have your date in A1. But it should give you the french version of the formula. The formula points to a1.

To convert your text into a date, you can use this formula (assuming the date in text format is in cell C15):
=DATE(RIGHT(C15,4),IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Jan"),01,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Feb"),02,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Mar"),03,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Apr"),04,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"May"),05,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Jun"),06,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Jul"),07,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Aug"),08,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Sep"),09,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Oct"),10,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Nov"),11,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Dec"),12)))))))))))),MID(C15,10,2))
Then you get an Excel date that is easier to work with.

=DATE(RIGHT(C15,4),IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Jan"),01,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Feb"),02,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Mar"),03,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Apr"),04,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"May"),05,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Jun"),06,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Jul"),07,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Aug"),08,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Sep"),09,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Oct"),10,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Nov"),11,IF(EXACT(MID(C15,6,3),"Dec"),12)))))))))))),MID(C15,10,2))
Then you get an Excel date that is easier to work with.
