Different Send Modes?

[lbrtdy]

I type in a different keyboard layout -Dvorak- and when I try to use autoit to send something, it ends up sending the wrong key(s). Ie Send("s") it would go to the physical e on my keyboard and tries to send that, but it turn because of my layout, sends an "o". Is there a way to change it so that autoit sends it in a different way that overcomes my layout problems?

Maybe follows.

No that didn't work, the thing is that my Windows is set as default Qwerty layout, I didn't touch it. But I run a program written in autohotkey that remaps the whole keyboard. So is there what is equivalent to autohotkey's SendMode, input or Sendmode, Raw in autoit? So it would ignore the current configuration of the keyboard and just sends the text specified? I'm not referring to sending raw as it send ! would equal alt, but as it Send o it won't go to o on my keyboard and sends that, but due to my layout it sends an "r".
