Offline Access & StarDict

You can use the CDSL dictionaries without an internet connection.

StarDict packages

The dictionaries are available as StarDict files, usable in any StarDict-compatible reader on desktop or mobile. StarDict packaging is maintained in cologne-stardict.

Android

All dictionaries are available offline on Android via the Sanskrit Dictionary Updater app (it downloads the CDSL dictionaries into a StarDict viewer). It presumes a StarDict viewer is installed — the front page suggests searching for EBdic, ColorDict, GoldenDict, or StarDict.
