Thanks for your report! However, this text is not part of Discover. I have searched through all translatable strings in Discover and was unable to find it. It probably comes from whatever packaging tool you use. It should be translated there.

I have no idea what packaging tool I use. As I use KDE neon, it should be rather easy to find out, right?

Yes, if this string is in translation database of KDE. But it is not as already mentioned.
Anyway: I have tried:
- deactivate WIFI
- start Konsole, put command "journalctl -f"
- start Discover
- click on "Search for Updates"
- got fully localized error message in German
- clicked on "more details"
- got error message you have mentioned: "cannot refresh cache whilst offline"
- checked Konsole output of of "journalctl -f" → "plasma-discover[2655]: Transaction error: "Cannot refresh cache whilst offline" PackageKit::Transaction(0x64083cdce060)"
- checked in Konsole for other output with "PackageKit" → "dbus-daemon[788]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.PackageKit' unit='packagekit.service' requested by ':1.113' (uid=1000 pid=2655 comm="/usr/bin/plasma-discover" label="unconfined")"

→ Discover uses org.freedesktop.PackageKit
→ Error message in English is from org.freedesktop.PackageKit

Check in sources of https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit
→ there are 4 source files throwing this error message.
→ kde-i18n-de is not responsible to translate those string
