Is there an offline dictionary?

Are there any off-line dictionaries available?


Solution 1:

I would recommend Artha, It is an Offline dictionary, I find it really comprehensive and it also suggests you synonyms of the word you are looking up.
You can download Artha from Ubuntu Software Centre.

Artha is a free cross-platform English thesaurus that works completely off-line and is based on WordNet

Website: http://artha.sourceforge.net

Solution 2:

I suggest the GoldenDict (Click to Install) - a very powerful shell, where you will be able to install a great many dictionaries of various formats. Just for English explanatory dictionary just add goldendict-wordnet option (Click to Install).
