Hi @RamiJ

This could be due to a few reasons:

**1. CLI Tool Issues:** Check if the CLI tool you’re using is up-to-date. Outdated versions might have compatibility issues. Try reinstalling the CLI tool to ensure it’s configured correctly.

**2. Language Data Availability:** Verify that the language data (en.lib.sandboxes.create.failure.403Gating) is available and accessible.

This data might be stored in a separate location or require specific permissions. You can go through this doc for any details on it.

I hope this will help you out. Please mark it as **Solution Accepted and upvote** to help another Community member.  
Thanks!

@GRajput The article describes the steps which are leading to the described error. We can not setup a developer sandbox due to the error the op posted. I can’t find anything related to “language” or “en.lib.sandboxes.create.failure.403Gating” in the document.

@GRajput

Thank you for your reply.

But I also couldn’t find any information about ‘language’ or ‘403’ error in the document you linked.

How can I reach out about the language setting?

There is no command that can be viewed throungh ‘hs --help’

ps. It seemed to be related to access, so I tried ‘sudo’, but it didn’t work.

Do I need to create a project or working directory before creating a development sandbox?
