Store / query local copy of dictionary for offline lookup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I use your (great) app on the train quite a bit, to study while in the 
communication black hole that is the subway, as well as out around town and so 
forth, where queries across the mobile network can be expensive unless one is 
using wifi.

Since the dictionary that backs Jim Breen's WWWJDIC is under a free license 
(even for commercial use), have you considered an option where the user can 
reference a local copy?  It's >200MB in SQLite format, so it's a bit of a space 
investment, but providing it as an option would be fantastic for dedicated 
learners and referencers, especially with ever cheapening storage options.

Apologies if it's in there already; I've searched the settings, and have not 
found a way to do this.

You can't find it, offline use is not currently available. This is probably the 
most 
requested feature, see the FAQ:

http://code.google.com/p/wwwjdic/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Will_there_be_an_offline_version?

Offline access is certainly doable, but not trivial, so not sure if I will ever 
do it. 
BTW, WWWJDIC traffic is text only and is compressed, so I don't think price is 
an issue even if you are billed by the MB for mobile access.
