These are just warnings - are they causing any actual issues with your WordPress deployment? I'm not familiar with the functionality, but the warning text and a quick Google led me to https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/translations_api/, and it sounds like this is functionality that uses a WordPress.org-hosted-service to perform translations and your deployment can't access it for some reason (perhaps intentionally blocking outbound internet access?)

Thanks for the response. I will check my outbound internet access. thanks.
