How about using EPUB as a format?
EPUB is an open standard and there are quite a few free ePUB readers for most platforms
(including Symbian). Non-Latin scripts would be handled by the client and there would be
no need to develop new clients.
We (PediaPress) have a working prototype for ePUB export via the collection extension.
However, EPUB export has only been tested with collections of a few thousand articles.
Essentially, it should be possible to generate EPUB files containing all articles of even
the biggest wikipedia projects - but this might need some more work.

Hi..
Yes, we are looking for offline wikipedia in several regional Indian
languages for our 50$ Akaash tablet. We want offline content to be
shipped with the device.
I already had few conversation with Emmanuel Engelhart in this regard,
I am waiting for a fruitful solution from him soon.
Thanks & Regards
Shahid

I'm wanting to know if there is a way to distribute Wikipedia in a small
language on memory cards for android phones. This is for people for
whom
data service is not available or cost prohibitive, and who may not have
access to a computer for transfer. Physical distribution of cards is
something that could be done.

I suppose this was one of the key requirement
from
http://www.sakshat.ac.in/ , they wanted something similar for the 50$
tablet Akash they are shipping in india. They wanted offline content to be
shipped with the device.
I am sure they contacted folks from the list on same.
