It's decent and I find it useful a lot

I have Aard2-Android installed on my phone, which is a foss dictionary app. They use wiktionary as sources for some dictionaries and I use the Malayalam, ml.wiktionary.org one.
It's quite accurate and very useful as it's offline(as I'm on 3G most of the time).

You can create your own dictionary files from Kiwix Zim files, using pyglossary. I was able to do it in GCollab.
