Eliminating other francophone countries than France

I would like to have just France in the drop-down menu, not also Monaco, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada - but eliminating the countries in the Extensions in the lingusitisc menu does not work since the countries show up again after restarting

I'm not sure what drop-down menu you are speaking of, neither the changes you tried to apply.
Anyway, the list of localizations doesn't depend of the dictionary extension.
But it possible to assign the dictionaries only to French (France).

Go to the folder (in your profile or in share, depending where you have installed the extension):
uno_package/cache/uno_package
and look for the dictionary extension.

Edit the file dictionaries.xcu.

To change the dictionaries assignation, edit the lines :
fr-FR fr-BE fr-CA fr-CH fr-LU fr-MC
Remove what you want.
However, the localizations will still be in the list, with no assigned dictionary.

French dictionaries

I have the German version installed and I meant the drop-down menu in the "Extras" -> "Options" -> "Linguistics" menu.

drop-down menu

If you are talking about the menu in :
Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writting aids > Available language module > Edit
there is nothing I can do. Assigning the spelling dictionary to only one french locale would force me to create 18 extensions (3 extensions for each of the 6 french localizations).

Edit the extension file as I said to remove unuseful localizations.

If you were talking about another menu, sorry, I don't know what it is. :/
