I appreciate that it would be nice to have more Bibles available.
However, using the Bibles available for another Bible program has two major 
drawbacks:
1. It is a lot of work (it's not even sure that we could do it).

2. I do not know all the details of the copyright agreements between the 
copyright holders for each Bible and The Word, but it is quite possible that we 
would end up in breach of these agreements.  A number of years ago we actually 
investigated compatibility with e-Sword modules.  We believed our actions to be 
100% legal, but still abandoned the project when we were threatened with legal 
action.  Similar may well apply to The Word.  Such disputes do not help us, our 
users, or the developers and users of other software we attempt to 
inter-operate with.

For both these reasons we will not be able to do anything with this request.
