Check sys.syslanguages, the code 2057 refers to British English which is missing in your scenario. You should install this language before configuring the new server. – LoLance
Change the default language(Database) to British English and try it again. – LoLance
sys.syslanguages has British - LCID 2057, mslangid 1033 Tried changing language to English / British English same error. I have set everything to English now, same error – AMB
I have set everything to English now, same error. What if you change everything to British English? And what's the default language for your original windows server system? – LoLance
I believe I figured out the root cause, when I query the config DB SELECT TOP (1000) [PartitionId] ,[ParentPath] ,[ChildItem] ,[RegValue] FROM [Tfs_TFSConfiguration].[dbo].[tbl_RegistryItems] where RegValue like '%2057%' AND ParentPath = '#\Service\Integration\Settings\' I updated the value for "InstalledUICulture\" from 2057 to 1033 and retried the configuration, it was successful. – AMB

Thanks to AMB for sharing and confirming.

For error like The specified configuration database (Tfs_Configuration) was created using a language (xxxx) that is currently not installed, we should check the Tfs_Configuration database itself.

We can use SQL Query like below to find InstalledUICulture item:

SELECT TOP (1000) [PartitionId]
      ,[ParentPath]
      ,[ChildItem]
      ,[RegValue]
FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_RegistryItems] where ParentPath = '#\Service\Integration\Settings\'

Edit the RegValue and set it the language ID of target Database's language and this issue would go away.
