The following tests were done on windows with an on screen keyboard.
I only looked at languages for which audacity is translated, and used ie,
firefox, chrome and audacity for tests.
The following keyboard languages have potential issues either in windows or
linux (obviously if the keyboard has a numeric keypad, there isn't a
problem):

1. Balgarski (Bulgarian).
Plus is shifted character on the three key.
Ctrl++ fails on all, but ctrl+shift+3 works in firefox

2. Bengali, Hindi, Lietuviu (Lithuanian), and Magzar (Hungarian)
Key to left of backspace has unknown symbols
This key works as ctrl++ on all.

3. Czech
There is a plus key with 1 as the shifted character,
and also an equals key which % as the shifted character.
The equals key works as ctrl++ on all, and the plus key also works in
firefox.

4. Francais and  Occitan
There is a minus key with 6 as the shifted character.
ctrl+- fails for ie, chrome, and audacity, but works with firefox.

5. Slovak
Plus key has 1 as the shifted character.
Using this key, ctrl++ fails for ie, chrome and audacity, but works with
firefox.
7. Tajik
The two keys to the left of backspace contain unknown characters.
These keys work as ctrl+- and ctrl++ on all.
8. Turkish Q
The 4 key has plus as the shifted characterç
Ctrl++ fails for all, but ctrl+shift+4 works with firefox.
9. Vietnamese
A key with an unknown character has plus as its shifted character.
Ctrl++ works for all.
