I also would like to have offline dictionaries available. What about the following ideas?

1) Would it be a solution to display the estimated quality of a result in some way to the user? I'm currently thinking about using the 'five stars' which are used in music players to rate a song. Lingo sources could in this case get rated and when a result is displayed, the rate given to the source the result is extracted from is displayed to the user

2) Implement multiple sources but distribute them as separate packages. In this case, a user must explicitly install source of 'inferior quality'.

Just some ideas, but I think Lingo really needs to support non-English languages (ref. https://answers.launchpad.net/lingo-dictionary/+faq/1896) and offline usage and this way, you could combine these features in one general design...
