Could you explain how 'moving' lyrics work in Finale?

Off topic question: how is the Vietnamese translation of MuseScore?

Finale can moving all lyrics with a tools for lyrics. I can moving all lyrics in MuseScore with a mouse and hold on a Ctrl key but inconvenience.
I find MuseScore in 2013, i love it. So i uninstalled Finale on my system.
I can read English, but not very well.

OK, so you mean just physically move them lower on the page, keeping them attached to the same notes? That's quite possible. In addition to ctrl+click each individual syllable, you can drag-select (hold ctrl while dragging). Or, if you want *all* lyrics lower, just change the lyric text style (Style/Text/Lyric) and/or lyric margins (Style/General/Page).

In 2.0 Beta/Nightly builds, it is also possible to select lyrics within a range by first selecting the range then right clicking one lyric and choosing Select / All Similar Elements in Range Selection.

You can help us with translating MuseScore 2.0 online via http://Transifex.com. Create an account there first and next go to https://www.transifex.com/organization/musescore/dashboard/all_resource…

Eventually you can test your work directly in MuseScore by going to Help → Resource Manager and update the Vietnamese translation. This will pull in your translation into the MuseScore software. A restart of MuseScore is required though to load in the translation completely.
