System.getProperty with foreign language

Hello All,
I've developed a program that uses System.getProperty("user.home"). However, when I change the regional settings to a foreign language, I get a different (and wrong) path. Instead of the usual c:\documents and settings\administrator, when I switched the language to Turkish, I got C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTÝNGS\ADMÝNÝSTRATOR. Obviously, no such path exists, and so my program gets stuck (same thing happens in other foreign languages.
How can I make the System.getProperty return the "normal" path ?

Thanks in advance,
Barak

What are you trying to do with the foreign language? Localize the UI? Look into the ResourceBundle object that the java api provides to handle that.

Do you get any error message on the console?
