Unfortunately by default Ubuntu comes with On-line dictionaries. But there is every possibility for either installing off-line dictionaries or making the local dictionaries working off-line.
One of the best efforts to install Off-line dictionary is installing artha. It is basically an Off-line thesaurus based on Wordnet.
just simply type the following line in terminal:
sudo apt-get install artha
the beauty of this is that you can select any word on your desktop and simply press ctl+alt+w thats all artha pop up and gives you required meaning with other stuff.
But, for those who have emotional attachment towards GNOME, you can configure Dictionary server.
the following is the way to installing local dictionary server, with required dictionaries and thesaurus;
sudo apt-get install dictd dictzip dict-wn dict-foldoc dict-jargon dict-gcide dict-moby-thesaurus
and configure the Dictionary in following way;
go to ............ Applications > Office > Dictionary > Edit > Preferences
add a new source using 127.0.0.1 as Hostname and select it as your default source
