Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.When you install D8 in another language than english we are trying to fetch the latest translations for each module enabled in the installation profile from ldo (which is awesome! (and scary for the ldo performances expected)). It will happen that the download of the po files fails due to a PHP maximum execution time error.
Question 1: shouldn't we catch the exception thrown and display a friendlier message to the end user? (I guess)
Question 2: should we stop the installation and tell the user that the download went wrong and offer him to try to redownload the failed file?
Question 3: should we keep the installation going and try to redownload the file later (maybe post installation)?
The purpose here is to prevent the user to not be able to use Drupal, he should in the worst case scenario use it in english.
(This is a bug than can become a task).
Example of the failure:

quietone CreditAttribution: quietone as a volunteer commentedTested with Drupal 8.9.12 and I cannot reproduce the problem. I removed my ethernet cable and wifi is off and started an install in a non-English language. The install timed out and the following is displayed, which explains the situation to the user so they can decided what to do next.
Therefore, closing as cannot reproduce. If you are experiencing this problem reopen the issue, by setting the status to 'Active', and provide complete steps to reproduce the issue (starting from "Install Drupal core").
Thanks!
