If you want to translate entirely on the device, without an internet connection, you are in for an uphill task! — Akshay, Aug 25 '11 at 08:25

You could use Apertium for this.

I see that there is an Apertium offline translator app for android.

The code is open source on sourceforge and can probably be adapted to an iPhone.

The Apple App Store has some restriction against GPL though, so it would only work on rooted iPhones. Discussion: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.nlp.apertium/1783/focus=1790 – unhammer May 11 '14 at 18:49

There isn't a free API where you can download and use it offline. You'd have to use something like the Google Translate API which needs an Internet Connection. Alternatively you could build your own parser and translation tool.
