      There is an app called Kiwix if you use Linux (I think it’s a flatpak) or WSL for Windows! :) It lets you download different languages and sizes. I just learned you can use graphical apps for WSL now, wew.

        Could I use this to set a monthly job that runs and updates my local copy? Does it download/update changes made since my last sync or would it just redownload and replace the previous months in this situation?

          It doesn’t work like that (yet), but it is the easiest way to keep an offline copy. They have more info about this here: https://kiwix.org/en/frequently-asked-questions/

      There’s an article here on how to utilize Wikipedia offline, and you can look under the “Where do I get the dumps?” section for links to downloads.
