Hello,
Where can I find or how can I build french.dict?
Also, how the standalone version can work in french without a french dictionary built in?
Thanks,
-olivier
The French dictionary (french.dict) comes from an external dependency, as defined here: languagetool/pom.xml at be40cfaddc2da0f243ed4420fba49d22319d6900 · languagetool-org/languagetool · GitHub
The source code is here: GitHub - languagetool-org/french-pos-dict: French part-of-speech dictionary
Without the French dictionary, the French checking cannot work.

Done.
But no french.dict yet. I take any help 
But what is your objective? I don’t understand what are you trying to do.
The french.dict file is distributed with LanguageTool. Download any snapshot here: Index of /snapshots/ (for example LanguageTool-20210607-snapshot.zip), and unzip the file.
The french.dict is inside the file libs/french-pos-dict.jar. You can unzip also this file.
