Hi Doitsu,
Thanks very much - I followed the below but I'm still having difficulties. Are you using Kindle for PC version 1.25.1?
The Kindle for PC app still attempts to download the monolingual dictionary and then stalls at 98%.
I was watching the files in the registry as it installs - it creates a new .mbp file and attempts to create a new .phl file but doesn't succeed.
Doitsu when you click into the B005F12G6U_EBOK folder do you have three files including .mbp and .phl or just the .azw file?
Here are my notes on the steps below - if you had any other tips I could try that would be fantastic!

Try the following:
1. Open a book with the Kindle for PC app. Done
2. Double-click a random word and click Dictionary. In the Dictionary dialog box, click the cogwheel icon and select Dictionnaire français Cordial. Done
3. Close the Kindle for PC app once the download is completed.Done
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). Done -.mbp is a hidden file
5. Delete the three files. Done
6. Copy your French dictionary to the folder and open it with Mobi Meta Editor. Done
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.) Done
8. Add/change the following entries:
113 (ASIN) B005F12G6U
501 (ASIN) B005F12G6U
(If these entries don't exist, click the + button to add them.)
Done - changed 504 instead of 501 as above
9. Click Save and close Mobi Meta Editor. Done
10. Rename the updated dictionary to B005F12G6U_EBOK.azw.
Done - I have tried this within the Mobi Meta Editor and by right click and rename
