Translations:Help:Extension:Translate/Off-line translation/2/en

More in general, you might want not to use the web interface if you have a very slow or limited internet connection or some "supadupa" offline tools that you're used to or you prefer. Be aware, however, that the Translate extension is designed as a collaborative process. This means that you should not hold the files offline for long times, and you should always download a new file just before you start translating. Otherwise you might conflict with other translators who work in the wiki.
