You can already use it offline. All you need to do is install the dictd daemon 
on your computer and install the desired dictionaries, and set the dictionary 
server in gnome-dictionary to localhost.

Alternatively, you may try StarDict, which supports more dictionary file 
formats than gnome-dictionary does.

regards,
