Yes. Peculiarly JAWS was reading the text of JMenuItems in perfect english, and some of the shortcut words in spanish (for instance, `Shift` was read out as `Mayúsculas`). Windows language was set to "english" (but the keyboard was set to spanish, I may change the keyboard layout if you want and double check).

Yes. The shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+Period" was read out as "Control plus Mayúsculas plus P" (and not `Period`).

Could be. As I said JAWS seems to be speaking out some shortcut words in spanish and  others in english.

@GoeLin D'oh. I hit the "Close and comment" button instead of the "Comment" button. Reopening.
