nDict is an offline Wikipedia/dictionary reader for .NET Compact Framework (Windows / Windows Mobile / Pocket PC).
Notes:
In the download section you Will find torrents of varying sources/sizes for the nDict suite. dict.ndz is made from the CIDE dictd dictionary from StarDict. The 2 Wikipedia's are obviously from Wikipedia - 100mb is sort of a 'taster' version (shouldn't take too long to download) and the bigger version is 700mb.
To use the files, put them in a directory then set the dictionary path from the nDict menu page (down the bottom). Then, just click the links to load the dictionaries. First time they are loaded, 3 files will be cached to disk - css (tiny) and index.idx & index.ndi which together can take a while to extract (on a mobile platform) - dict takes about 10mb, Wikipedia.100 about 1.5mb and Wikipedia.700 about 55mb. Therefore, for dict & Wikipedia.700 it is advisable to run the desktop version first to cache these files to disk before copying all 4 files to the mobile device.
