 My installation of wordpress is within a closed network. The server does
 not have access to the internet.

 When installing the default wordpress installation, everything seems to be
 working correctly  but when I try to get to the main settings page on wp-
 admin (options-general.php) it throws the error below:

 "PHP Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with
 WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have
 problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a
 secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server
 administrator.) in D:\wordpress\wordpress-5.4.2\wordpress\wp-
 admin\includes\translation-install.php on line 68 PHP Warning: An
 unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or
 this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try

 D:\wordpress\wordpress-5.4.2\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\translation-
 install.php on line 68 "


 I figured that this was due the server not having the access to the
 particular wordpress hosted translation API.

 doing some troubleshooting, i found this stack overflow that "fixed" the
 issue:
 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35238058/error-wp-admin-includes-
 translation-install-php-on-line-59


 This solved the issue for now, but when i run an upgrade, it will be
 broken again.

 Suggestion to either have a switch on a config file to use or not this
 translation feature or to have a error exit on the code if it can't
 access.
