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?

SAS 9.4 installed in the Server, some Chinese study with Chines characters should use the Chinese sas to run, otherwise there will be unreadable character, I want to know could this issue be solved ? or request IT to bulid another server only for Chinese study, but it costs a lot.

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;
