    Dear all,
    That is an annoying problem I have with ssdt and (just today) ssms. Even though I change the ms download site from de-de to en-us, I only get the German version to download.

     Can someone give me a hint? I'd so much love to not being patronised on the language to use by MS.:)

    That is obnoxious. I've had to play with this a little bit when out of the country awhile back and I think to some extent it might be browser specific in terms of workarounds.
    You can use a VPN - some free ones let you specify the country. Check if add-ons are available for your browser for this.
    You could also try a free proxy service, get a US IP address and port and set that up in your browser. But those are often not too safe - don't allow https, some have used the PCs as a botnet, etc.
    Also try searching on the phrase: stop country redirect
    That should give you some different things to try with whatever browser. You can try adding your browser in the phrase to narrow things down.
