Different thing. Mantaphrase appears to provide pre-set categorised phrases for you to select, which you can then show/say a good translation of to the person with whom you're conversing. It then intelligently provides follow-up phrases you might want to use afterwards. And yes, this all works offline.
From what I can tell, it's the modern equivalent of a 'phrase book', which makes sense and is a pretty good idea, imo.
As someone else has posted, it would be interesting to know how many users are out there actually using it in the real world. The statistics seem to suggest that there have been a lot of people download it and play with it a few times.

Does Mantaphrase work offline? I think Translate requires a data connection.
I can't really think of another use case, though.
