Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/28331388/112088385-4f94cc00-8bc2-11eb-8590-41558115672a.png)

There is no message telling the user what is going on why they are trying to "Download keyboard..." while offline. A plain white screen is shown.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

It may be helpful to add a message telling the user that they are offline and advise them to go online to be able to download keyboard. It is very obvious, but it is a good thing to have a message notifying them the issue they are running into and how to go about it.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

A popup message would do as well, if not a web page notifying them what is going on.
