Microsoft Team - Create new team with predefine language for underlying SharePoint site

Our Microsoft 365 is configured with Danish as default language, as a consequence is the language of all SharePoint team sites that are automatically created by Microsoft 365 when creating a new team also using Danish. This is a problem because the document library is using https://foobar.sharepoint.com/sites/test/Delte%20dokumenter/Forms/AllItems.aspx instead of https://foobar.sharepoint.com/sites/test/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx as URL.

I am now trying to find a way to create multiple teams (50+) where the language of the SPO site is English instead of Danish.

I have already tried the following concepts without success

  1. Approach 1: Use a team-template when creating a new team, the language defined by the template does not affect the language of the SPO site.
  2. Approach 2: Creating unified group first and than convert unified-group into team: The language of cmdlet New-UnifiedGroup does not affect the language of the SPO site
  3. Approach 3: Create SPO site with PowerShell first and than create team based on this site. A similar concept is covered in blog article
    Create a Team From Existing SharePoint Online Modern Team Site Using PowerShell, but the problem is the fact that I cannot create a group-enabled team-site using PowerShell, when using template STS#3 - the attempt to create a new SPO site using template GROUP#0 results in error (The web template GROUP#0 is not available for sites on this tenant)

Ok, I found a solution: Use the cmdlet Set-SPOSiteOffice365Group

My approach includes now the following step:

  1. Create a SPO team site with PowerShell (not related to a unified group). Defined the correct /needed language via parameter LocaleId.
  2. Use Set-SPOSiteOffice365Group - this will create a new unified group and that will use the exiting SPO team-site
  3. Convert the unified group into team, see Creating a New Microsoft 365 Group with the Microsoft PowerShell Graph SDK
