When I mingled with the menus I found out that the SAS System options / Environment control / Language control shows:

DBCSLANG JAPANESE

re-local the directory to D:\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\SASV9.CFG
Open it use Notepad, and change the following line
[pre]
-CONFIG "d:\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\nls\zh\SASV9.CFG"

to

-CONFIG "d:\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\nls\en\SASV9.CFG"
[/pre]

zh is to mean chinese version sas.
en is to mean english version sas.
