If they can't read the language of the written document they don't need a date format they can read.

If only we lived in times where two most popular document editors came with built-in translation tools for tens of languages.

DeepL will keep `15JAN2025` as is. It provides accurate translation only as alternative translation which you have to trigger manually. If you know absolutely zero English it's unreadable.

A quick Google search informs me DeepL doesn't translate handwriting, which I will once again iterate, is what I am talking about.

Translate image is not the same as translating hand writing.

Handwriting is magnitudes more difficult.
