Sheldon's site says it is not possible to install a French FW on an English hub without "considerable violence". You can thread the French FW on a couple of turns, but then it tightens up. I suppose with a lot of grease and a big enough wrench you might run it all the way on, but the damage to the hub would be considerable.
