Add a space between the word and the colon in description
In French, colons are always placed after an unbreakable space. However, babel does not implement this rule. How to correct that?
documentclass{amsart}
usepackage[french]{babel}
begin{document}
Lorem~:
begin{description}
item[Dolor] sit
end{description}
end{document}

Your example doesn't compile and doesn't contain a colon.

A colon is added by the description environment.

I see no colon (if I switch to article class to avoid the errors) in a current texlive.

I updated the code, thestandaloneclass was a bad idea.

Maybe thesmfartclass would be better at spacing colons?

Line 932 of amsart.cls contains the following line
newcommand{descriptionlabel}[1]{hspacelabelsep upshapebfseries #1:}
that explicitly inserts a colon directly after the optional argument of item.
You can use the code in the following example to determine if babel was loaded using the french option. If this is true, an unbreakble space ~ is added before the colon.
documentclass{amsart}
usepackage[french]{babel}
makeatletter
@ifpackagewith{babel}{french}{renewcommand{descriptionlabel}[1]{hspacelabelsep upshapebfseries #1~:}}{}
makeatother
begin{document}
Lorem~:
begin{description}
item[Dolor] sit
end{description}
end{document}
