I did a google search for French-English on-line dictionaries.  I went to a
few of them and entered both calendre and calendr� and neither words exist.
Here is an example of a French-English dictionary page:

http://humanities.uchicago.edu/orgs/ARTFL/forms_unrest/FR-ENG.html

However, if you spell it calandre, then you get a result:


ARTFL Project: French-English Dictionary
Searching for: calandre


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

calandre = calender *[noun-feminine]

ARTFL Project: French-English Dictionary
Searching for: calendar


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

calendrier = calendar *[noun-masculine]


Hope this helps
