When I run System.getProperty("user.home") on turkish windows 7, I get “C:\Users\aaaa” even though “Users” folder does not exist in my computer (I have the turkish translation of “users”). How can I get the correct user.home information?
Thank you
That’s not true. You have the “Users” folder. Windows just automatically translates it when displaying it. But you have to use “Users” for filesystem paths, which is what
user.homereturns. The localized name is only relevant for displaying it to the user. I’m not sure how to get it from Java code.Frankly, I think the whole concept of displaying different folder names to the user than what is actually present in the filesystem is a bizarre perversion.
