I appreciate your offer to help localise MacSword.
Localising applications makes things a bit more complicated. Appropriate procedures have to be in place to give translators the change to get things localised before  releases are put out which include changes to the UI.
Since at the moment the core development of MacSword is more or less a one-man-show this would take quite a bit of flexibility.
However I realise that at some point this has to be done to open up for all people that do not understand english or want to use applications in their mother language.

I'll think about this for version 2.2 which might not be far away and give an announcement.

They can be created, moved and deleted from MacSword and are integrated into MacSword as tabs or windows. Bible references can be added to note's text which will show the reference target as tooltip or in the preview window. This should give a bit of word processing capability without the need of another software like TextEdit.
