I'm trying to install Drupal 8 on my laptop (localhost wamp server), and I always get the following error in the first steps:

Requirements problem

The translation server is offline.

The installer requires to contact the translation server to download a translation file. Check your internet connection and verify that your website can reach the translation server at http://ftp.drupal.org. Check the messages and try again.
That step is mandatory, and I can't continue the installation process. Opening http://ftp.drupal.org I can see the website with no problem.

I've disabled antivirus and firewall, and have tried the process from different locations (different internet access) on the same computer, with the same results. I'm using EasyPHP WAMP on Windows 8.1, with versions that meet the requirements of PHP, MySQL.

What can be blocking the access to the translation server? Is there any way to omit this step?

of course I installed a wordpress website http://www.mondbala.com in my localhost. it that cause problem?

Hello,

Please find following it might be help you.

By default, Drupal and its installation are in English. However, it is possible to translate your site into French or any other language you want.
If you want to manually configure a language other than English by translating Drupal in its entirety, including the installation, you will need to do some manipulations:
1) Visit the subsite localize Drupal at: http://localize.drupal.org .
2) In the right column, select the language.
3) Download the translation for your version of Drupal
4) Copy the download file in sites/default/files/translations
5) Continue with installation

I had this issue too. I resolved it in downloading the file cacert.pem and adding it to "C:\wamp64\keys\" (I had to create the folder "keys")

I then added, after "[Curl]", the line curl.cainfo = "C:\wamp64\keys\cacert.pem" in the php.ini used by Wamp

This is were I found this solution: https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/164172/problem-installing-in-...

check the connection status of the server, with your network.

FILE SYSTEM: Writable (public downlod Method):

First of all Go to your Drupal directory and check wether “sites/default/files” name directory is there or not if not then create “sites/default/files” directory and provide permission to them if file is already present then just provide the permission . just follow the simple command in the terminal.

*If files directory is not present in the /sites/default/ , then run the following command

$ sudo mkdir /path_to_drupal_directory/sites/default/files

$ sudo chown 777 /path_to_drupal_directory/sites/default/files

2.SYSTEM FILES: (settings file does not exit):

*Go to default directory

cd /drupal_directroy/sites/default

* create file settings.php

sudo touch settings.php

*copy sites/default/default.settings.php to sites/defaut/settings.php

sudo cp /sites/default/dedault.settings.php /sites/default/settings.php
