>> You have two options: using the translate options under File Manager, or opening the kwb file by the normal means, then saving it with a new filetype.  The latter method is perhaps the easiest. To do that:
>> 1. Open the file as you normally do.
>> 2. Press space with s to Save the file.
>> 3. You'll be asked for a new filename, and at this point, press backspace with x until you see the option for text.  When you see the option for text, enter the new file's name and press enter.
>> 4. You'll be asked if you want to open the newly-created file.  Answer no if you like, or go ahead and open it if you want to.  The file's contents will be shown to you, then you can exit Keyword as you normally do.

>> 3. Enter e for export.
>> 4. Browse to the file that you want to translate/export, then press Enter.
>> 4. The default option will be File.  Press Enter.5. At the "Export as which filetype" prompt, press space with dots 3 and 4 until you reach the desired filetype, then enter the name for the new file. Press Enter.
>>
