Use
options locale=en_us;
to switch to English.
Running software with a different character set is always tricky in Windows, as parts of the UI (window titles, menu items) are built by Windows itself depending on the system locale.
Which of the SAS versions did you use to create your initial screenshot?
If you want to run anything that uses extended character sets, then your Windows must be set up to use UTF-8.

Usually you specify the languages you want supported when you install SAS. English gets installed regardless, Chinese would be an additional selection. What does this report when you run it in your SAS server session:
proc options option = locale;
run;
