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.
