Changing SAS Studio language in Mozilla Firefox browser

gloorp_ — Thu, 08 May 2025 11:04:38 GMT

How do I change the language of SAS Studio (SAS OnDemand for Academics) in the Mozilla Firefox browser to English? The following solutions do not work:

1) Change the language in the browser's settings
2) Forcing the English language in the URL
3) Change the language/region of the operating system

So I suspect that the language may be selected by the IP. Is it possible to change the language without using a VPN?

I've seen this happen a few times with students. What region are you connecting to when you login to SAS Ondemand for Academics (mine shows United States 2 in the top center)? In the cases I've seen the browser "magically" switches to a different language even though the default is English. Can you try a different browser or try a Private window in Firefox?

Hey, thank you for your reply. The selected region, is Europe. Strange, but after restarting the computer several times and clearing the browser's cookies, changing the language in the browser's settings to English was enough for SAS Studio to finally work in English. Strange.

So I think the following steps may help other people: 1) change the language in the browser; 2) clear cookies and close all windows along with the browser; 3) restart the computer.
