<p>Thank you for the kind words! My hope is that the BSB module
would be useful enough and complete enough to be recommended by
SWORD apps, or even (due to its liberal licensing) installed by
default.</p>
<p>Xiphos should know what Strongs number is associated with each
lemma (it draws them in the right place, after all), so in theory
it should be possible for clicking on the lemma to look up the
associated Strongs number with no change to the module. I'm rather
fond of AndBible's approach where clicking a word looks up all the
associated metadata (lemmas, Strongs numbers, grammar codes, etc.)
in all available dictionaries, since the odds of a Strongs number
being a valid grammar code or a grammar code being a valid lemma
are extremely low - but that would probably be a bigger change.<br>
</p>
<p>There's one other piece of data included in the translation table
spreadsheet that isn't yet included in the BSB module - grammar
codes. The BSB is marked up with somewhat proprietary codes for
Hebrew and Greek, while the SWORD Project ecosystem seems to have
settled on Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible codes for Hebrew, and
Robinson codes for Greek. Since both kinds of Hebrew codes model
the same rules of Hebrew grammar, and both kinds of Greek codes
model the same rules of Greek grammar, it should be possible to
translate between them, it's just a lot of work and although I've
had some ideas about how to help automate the process, I've been
distracted by other things.</p>
<p>The other thing that occurred to me is the possibility of
creating a more straightforward interlinear Bible, with the source
text as the base and the English as the "gloss". That would allow
the source text to be presented in its natural order (instead of
following the order of English grammar), but it would *also* be a
lot of work and I'm not sure if it would actually be very useful.</p>

I wanted to mention that the updated BSB has become effectively
also BIB, the Berean Interlinear Bible, when viewed in Xiphos
with lemmas enabled, where stacked display provides the
interlinear view.<br>

The only downside is that lemmas don't link to numeric Strong's
entries. But you can enable Strong's as well to get that.<br>
<br>
Several years ago, I had done initial work to create "draft"
Berean Bible modules (BSBdraft, BIBdraft) -- "draft" because the
*.xlsx weren't finalized at the time -- but this BSB is much
superior, a fine end product.<br>
