That's weird. Why? Maybe your reasons for doing so are based on faulty assumptions or what you're _really_ trying to accomplish -- since I very much doubt that handling menu keyboard shortcuts is a first-order interest of yours -- can be done a different way that doesn't require this.

What are you passing in for the modifiers? I would expect that passing in cmdKeyBit would result in UCKeyTranslate returning latin characters.
