or you could convert the default gnome dictionary into an offline one by following the below method:


Install a local dictionary server and required dictionaries and thesaurus:
sudo apt-get install dictd dictzip dict-wn dict-foldoc dict-jargon dict-gcide dict-moby-thesaurus

Configure Dictionary to use the local dictionary:
Application > Office > Dictionary
Edit > Preferences
Add a new source using 127.0.0.1 as the Hostname and select it as your default source.

I also like the Aard Dictionary, that also has the capability of loading offline wikipedia pages. See more details on their site: http://aarddict.org/index.html
