This is some kind of network issue. Maybe the Blender server or your internet connection were slow for a moment and something timed out.

I don’t understand, I can visit the URL https://git.blender.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi/blender-translations.git, but I can’t git clone him. I even tried the proxy server, and all of them failed to link.
