Zireless keyboqrd rqndo, chqrqcters

My keyboqrd doesnùt zork qny,ore:  Re::::paired but thqt didnùt help: 
I was just typing along and suddenly it happened:  So I changed batteries; then paired keyboard with imac:  Same problem:  It;s as if the mapping changed:
a key = q
q key = a
z key = w
w key = z
m key = ,
colon key = m
question mark = =
Restored keyboard defaults; that didnùt work

Is your system set up to allow multiple languages?
Check this out (requires ONLY the mouse...)
Apple > system prefs > Language & text > input sources.
Make sure only English is checked...
Or, if you DO have multiple languages, there might be a Flag of the language in the system notification tray, click on it and select English...
Finally, pressing Command+Space will move to the next language, Command+Option+Space will move back.
Hope this helps!

    Hi Rod--
    MANY thanks! Your suggestion fixed the problem!
    I use PickChar on my iMac to simplify handling of esoteric font characters. Its overhead menu symbol at the upper right of my desktop usually shows the American flag (for the English setting). I just noticed that the symbol had somehow spontaneously changed to the French flag (and the French setting). I switched it back to the English setting and all is fixed and okay with the keyboard.
    Phew! I had thought that maybe I had a bad keyboard. . . .
    Best regards,
    Gregg
