    An adaptation to French has already been made and can be downloaded:

    There is another tagger that more and more teams use in France, since it
    performes well (probably the best tagger at the moment), and does not
    require any training, hacking, etc. It is commercially distributed, but
    very cheap for research (I think less then USD 100). It is called Cordial
    Analyseur, and is developped by Synapse Development.
