French words list could be better

[webafrancois]

I'm french speaker. French words list aren't good. Many accents are not respected : We can read :

• "a^cre" instead of "âcre"
• "a`-propos" instead of "à-propos"
• "abandonne'" instead of "abandonné"
• "paranoi"a" instead of "paranoïa"
• some words are not words but some abbreviation like "al." (?) "ac." I think those words could not be included.
• And every word is written 2 times.

I submit a corrected list with accents, without words with ".", and without duplications. The old list count : 276506 words (which contains all words in double)

The new list contains : 138253 words.

Hi! Apologies for the delay in getting to this.

Which word list are you seeing the issue in? I ran some tests with fr-freelang and fr-freelang-bernard-vivier and see correct accenting, and only ~23k entries.

I'm more than happy to add another French list though - can you confirm where it originated to ensure the licences are OK?

I took the french list in your README.rst of this repository

French: Cleaned version of this list. Public domain.
https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/download/32007/french.gz

You mention that is a Public Domain, but there is no licence in the .gz file But this file isn't correctly written. I correct it and publish on this post.

Please incorporate this proposed dictionnary because fr-freelang and fr-freelang-bernard-vivier have injurious words ! like "salope" => means bitch or "viol" => means rape

Thank you for your contribution - these changes have been made in v1.17.4 or later

Hello, The wordlist provided by @webafrancois is in utf8, which isn't correctly read by KeepassXC on windows. Here is a cp1252 version which correctly shows accentuated letters. cp1252_french.txt
