what about offline translator or dictionaries 
I don't think a lot of people will browse a paper dictionary, nowadays, except maybe for the few languages unsupported by google translator.
I'd count this as a +1, for the effort required.
slideman@GustavinoBevilacqua @xarvos No, you’re assuming a paper dictionary takes more effort. If the dictionary is to hand, as it is to many linguists in many reading situations, to a user familiar with paper dictionaries the effort is often no greater, and the result often better: eg the ability to see several similar headwords in one opening v-à-v having to enter a fresh search term for another variant.
@slideman @GustavinoBevilacqua also assumed that an offline dictionary is necessarily on paper. though, in case of some languages not written in latin alphabet (especially one like chinese or japanese) arnd the text is not on a computer, you’d still have to know a good chunk of the language either way
