WordPress installation without language selection

[mraspe]

Hi,
I´m using Docker for Windows (17.03.1-ce-win5 (10743)) for local WordPress development.

Here my docker-compose file:

version: '3'

services:

wordpress:
image: wordpress:4.7-php7.1-apache
links:
- mysql:mysql
ports:
- "80:80"
volumes:
- ./wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: secret

mysql:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- ./.data:/var/lib/mysql
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: secret

When I call docker compose to create the containers and then I start the WordPress installation (localhost), the selection for languages is not showing. I think, the volume has no permissons to write in wp-content folder(?) How can I fix it?

I have the same problem. I have tested all tags with same result :
It seems to skip language selection and goes directly to the "Welcome to the famous five-minute WordPress installation process" page.

If I continue installation in english, the language selection box is not available later in settings.

Ok, it seems that for some reason, i have slow DNS resolution from inside my wordpress container, which cause timeout during attemps to connect to api.wordpress.com.
There is a fallback mechanism skiping language download when wordpress.com connection is not available.

Got it sorted by adding manual entry to container hosts file

echo "66.155.40.202 api.wordpress.org" >> /etc/hosts

Awesome, glad you figured out the root cause, @gletellier! 👍 ❤️

@mraspe try to add language to values in your docker-compose file (If your languages folder in source code exist languages to they should be available in 'Settings/General/Site Language' in admin dashboard)

 volumes:
      - ./wp-content/languages:/var/www/html/wp-content/languages
