Why does {User.Name} work in $Definition['EmailHeader'] but not in $Definition['EmailWelcome']?

I'm trying to customise the welcome email that gets sent when I create a users account manually. All user accounts are for teachers, so I want the Email header to say "Hello Teacher" or similar and the username to be grouped with the email/password/URL information in the email body.
I tried just moving the {User.Name} value from the EmailHeader definition to the EmailWelcome (firstly in the conf/locale.php, but when that didn't work I also tried in applications/dashboard/locale/en-CA/definitions.php). However it doesn't work. The email body just shows: "Username: {User.Name}"
Is there anyway to do what I want? If so, how?

Welcome to the community!
What version number of Vanilla are you running?
It has to do with the way the string is processed. Use
%1$sas the username in$Definition['EmailWelcome'];.All customized definitions should be placed in the
/conf/locale.phpfile as it a) has priority on translations and b) is not overwritten on upgrade.Search first

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using Version 2.0.18.8.
The reason I tried locale.php first was for the reasons you listed above, but when it didn't work, I was stumped as to why, that's why I tried editing the definitions.php file as well.
I just tested the variable %1s and it works. Thanks so much!
