I am trying to improve the quality of the written backtranslation which is a separate paratext project. Paratext has a spell check feature that could in principle be used (populated) with English, French, Spanish etc words. Is there a "cookbook" on how to do this? How would one go about correcting a written backtranslation?
Thanks in advance for your help.

This topic came up a few years ago. The English SpellingStatus.xml file which I received from that answer is right here.

Copy SpellingStatus.xml into the project folder for an English "Back Translation", and then turn on spelling checks in the back translation project. This would not help with the interlinearizer.

Thanks for that tip. So, in fact, I am looking for the French SpellingStatus.xml file. Any idea where that can be obtained?
