Other than downloading and using Wikipedia offline, XOWA can also be used to create and maintain your own person wikis. The first method is much easier in comparison. Basically it requires you to create and run a script for properly importing the dump files.

For this, you can select Tools Import → Offline and then follow the instructions for using the dumps. Second method of importing Wikipedia is to use already downloaded dumps (downloaded on some other computer that has internet connection) on your computer offline. Please notice that the downloads are many gigabytes in size and may take more than one hour or longer to complete.

You can click on the download link in front of these to start the download. You will be shown a list of available Wikipedia downloads available for different wikis available such as different languages or Wikimedia. The easier method is to launch XOWA and select Tools Import → Online. XOWA allows two ways of importing and using Wikipedia for offline use – online import and offline import. Of course, the downloaded offline version of Wikipedia won’t have the latest entries or updates that are available only from online version of Wikipedia. This Java based program can download entire Wikipedia on your hard drive so that you can use it offline anytime you want. This problem can easily be addressed using a simple tool called XOWA. When you are traveling in distance regions of the world where a reliable internet connection is a luxury, you won’t be able to frequently access Wikipedia. Even though Wikipedia has all the possible articles on all subject matters, it requires you to have an internet connection so that you can access its content. Anyone can make contributions to the Wikipedia articles, edit them or create new articles on its platform. Wikipedia is the most popular encyclopedia in the world.
