You can use Fdate with a customized batch file to obtain the names of
the days of the week and the months in a language of your choice.  Or
you could use it to obtain names in uppercase, or the first 5
characters of the names (rather than the first three), or some other
customized formatting of your choice.)

I've invented a language called Fergian, which has its own names for
the days of the week, and the months.  In the following examples, I
invoke FERGIAN.BAT to make the translation.  The text of FERGIAN.BAT,
which does the real work here, is given in the next example.

fdate /ff /omm /v
call Fergian mm- result %Fdate%
echo Month  is          %result%

fdate /ff  /omm /v
call Fergian mm3 result %Fdate%
echo Month3 is          %result%

fdate /ff /odow#  /v
call Fergian dw- result %Fdate%
echo Day of week  is    %result%

fdate /ff /odow#  /v
call Fergian dw3 result %Fdate%
echo Day of week3 is    %result%
