JMenuItem label alignment

I have a JMenuBar with standard items and labels. But I noticed that the label description is left aligned, which looks ugly. Is there a way to right align?

PS: "Umshalt" means shift. Is there a way to make it say shift instead of Umschalt?

[ UPDATE: Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH);

fixes the problem, but a solution that only affects specific components would be better ..]

PSPS: With UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());

I set the default OS appearance. But now I would like to make small adjustments to the appearance of the standard OS Look. For example, I would like to make the JMenuBar black. Intervez told me to use UIManager.put("tMenuBar.background", Color.BLACK);

but it doesn't do anything.

[ UPDATE: It looks like this is not possible on Windows. Look and feel: /]

Here's the code:

    private JMenuBar tMenuBar;
    private JMenu mbEdit;
    private JMenuItem mCut, mCopy, mPaste, mDo, mUndo;

    tMenuBar = new JMenuBar();
    mbEdit = new JMenu("Edit");
    tMenuBar.add(mbEdit);

    // EDIT
    mUndo = new JMenuItem("Undo");
    mDo = new JMenuItem("Redo");
    mCut = new JMenuItem("Cut");
    mCut.setIcon(iCut);
    mCopy = new JMenuItem("Copy");
    mCopy.setIcon(iCopy);
    mPaste = new JMenuItem("Paste");
    mPaste.setIcon(iPaste);
    mbEdit.add(mUndo);
    mbEdit.add(mDo);
    mbEdit.addSeparator();
    mbEdit.add(mCut);
    mbEdit.add(mCopy);
    mbEdit.add(mPaste);

    // Undo
    mUndo.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
            java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_Z, Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask()));
    // Redo
    mDo.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
            java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_Z, ((Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask() | java.awt.event.InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK))));
    // Cut
    mCut.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
            java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_X, Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask()));
    // Copy
    mCopy.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
            java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_C, Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask()));
    // Paste
    mPaste.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
            java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_V, Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask()));

      

        
        
        
      

    

Have already tried:

applyComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
