This paper presents a selection of free online general dictionaries of current French in the middle of 2020, focusing on several topics: the metadata, sometimes abundant, explicit and detailed, sometimes brief or lacking; the initiators or authors of dictionaries, who may be academies (e.g. Dictionnaire de l’Académie française), university departments (e.g. Usito, produced at Sherbrooke University, Quebec), publishers (e.g. Dico en ligne by Le Robert), software developers (e.g. Dictionnaire Cordial by Synapse Développement), collaborative organizations (e.g. Wiktionnaire), individuals (e.g. Interactive Language Toolbox, written and maintained by Flemish teachers of French as a foreign language) or unknown persons (e.g. Dictionnaire français on L’Internaute website); the hosts of these dictionaries, who may also be news websites (e.g. sensAgent on Le Parisien website); the user interface, more or less friendly and interactive; the update of headwords and data and the quality of linguistic descriptions, which can vary significantly from one dictionary to another.
