I just re-tested the method by replacing the monolingual French dictionary with the default Oxford French-English dictionary and it still works.
Try the following:
1. Open a book with the Kindle for PC app.
2. Double-click a random word and click Dictionary. In the Dictionary dialog box, click the cogwheel icon and select
Dictionnaire français Cordial.
3. Close the Kindle for PC app once the download is completed.
4. Open the My Kindle Content folder. There should be a B005F12G6U_EBOK folder with 3 files in it (B005F12G6U_EBOK.azw, B005F12G6U_EBOK.mbp and B005F12G6U_EBOK.phl).
5. Delete the three files.
6. Copy your French dictionary to the folder and open it with Mobi Meta Editor.
7. Click Language and make sure that the Dictionary Input/Output fields don't have Unknown (0) values. (If your dictionary doesn't have valid Dictionary Input/Output values, you can't use it.)
8. Add/change the following entries:
113 (ASIN)
B005F12G6U
501 (ASIN)
B005F12G6U
(If these entries don't exist, click the
+ button to add them.)
9. Click Save and close Mobi Meta Editor.
10. Rename the updated dictionary to
B005F12G6U_EBOK.azw.
If you followed the above instructions, you should be able to use your custom dictionary with the Kindle for PC app.
