@ItsSeaJay there is https://github.com/kylebgorman/wikipron

As is noted in the README, support for French is not very good. This is partly due to ambiguities in the French orthography and partly do to insufficient work being devoted to the modules. The use of /r/ rather than /ʁ/ is intentional, however. One use of Epitran, early in its history, but producing representations that were relatively close to etymologically related forms in other languages. Since French was historically /r/ (and still is in some dialects), the distance between French and other languages was reduced by treating in this way.

If you can provide me with more test cases, I can update 'fra-Latn' so it passes them.

I should have read the README file further before attempting what I was attempting the other day. I'm currently working on a test case module for the fr-Latn preprocessor that should be available at https://github.com/ItsSeaJay/epitran-fr-Latn-testcases
I should also mention that for my purposes I need to use uvular /ʁ/. The whole reason I'm working with this module is so I can automagically produce language flashcards for anki, and for that I need correct native pronunciations. I notice that in the README file you mention a downloadable bilingual or monolingual dictionary for chinese. Is there anything like that for the French language? Cheers.
