So the modification worked. It seems that PayPal bases itself on the country of the address of the demo user. If you set it to the USA our UK, the language changes to english on PayPal.

Is there anything I can do to allow customers to keep their proper address (as I have to deliver product to their home) yet fool PayPal into displaying their page in English (as it would if the address was in the UK)?
