No. KeyNote’s user interface (menus, dialog boxes, etc.) are only in English; there is no support for localized versions. This is not merely a matter of translating the interface into other languages: a program needs to be specially designed so that it can load messages in another language. KeyNote has not been designed to allow this. Note that the “Language” option in Note Properties dialog box only sets the language for the selected text (much like “Tools – Language” in Word). This property is used to select the proper dictionary for the spell-checker; it has nothing to do with the user-interface language. Version 2.0 will be available in language sother than English, but the translaton mechanism will not support multibyte characters or Unicode.
