Using french dictionnary

[keloemma]

Hello,

Last time you said it may be possible to use french Dictionnary but I would like to know if I have to translate the English dictionnary to french and then use it for my test or Should I myself use a french lexicon and grade myself the positive value and negative value of words ?

Hi, I suggest you look at this paper. It describes how to translate a dictionary:
