Use a command like follows:

With the ALTER SESSION statement
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT = FRENCH;

In SQL functions
TO_CHAR(hiredate, 'DD/MON/YYYY', 'nls_date_language = FRENCH')

"NLS_SORT specifies the type of sort for character data. It overrides the default value that is derived from NLS_LANGUAGE."

It can also be set through an initialization parameter or an environment variable.
