New-PnPTenantSite : LocaleId 2057 is not a supported locale.
When creating a site collection you can only specify a limited number of LCID's (corresponding to the available language packs for SharePoint). After the site collection has been created you can further finetune your regional settings using CSOM Web.RegionalSettings for example or via PowerShell as described in the following blog

This MSDN article lists the LCID's supported when creating a site collection

Hope this helps

I think this needs to be standardised.
If English is only chosen just because of the language and felt as if it will cater to English UK, its not about language. It impacts the date and time settings, it impacts the alerts, emails which wil get triggered. This sort of setting will mrun a riot in the environment where notification system is in place.
I dont know, if it is a technical limitation or kept for future work, but i can't believe a very significant configuration has been left out.

The only thing is you cannot specify them right away when creating your site collection. After the site collection has been created you can go to site settings -> regional settings to make your required changes through the UI or you could automate this using PowerShell.

paulpascha In your answer to the question you refer to a microsoft resource containing the language id's. Locale id's will do more than only change the language, but also formatting etc.
According to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/sharepoint-server/ms462988(v%3Doffice.15) The locale id of 2057 should enable UK-locale settings.
But I also receive the same error;
New-SPOSite : LocaleId 2057 is not a supported locale.
