Athol, Have you looked at the Kurzweil Reader?  If your client has access
to that, there is a French/English and English/French dictionary.  It's
quite nifty in that it gives the correct pronunciation in each language.  I
know the program is expensive for an individual, but if the university has
it that might be the answer.   Good luck, Karen
