Comment (by Horst Gutmann <ze...@zerokspot.com>):
The problem with the translation of "Website" and "Webpage" is that there
are no equivalents in German. The whole dilemma started with some people
translating "Website" as "Webseite" eons ago which is simply wrong, yet
"socially" accepted ("Seite" == "page" (en)). In my opinion the only real
solution here is to use "Website" for the whole ... website and "Seite"
for webpages. "Webseite" should not be used anymore unless "Seite" would
lead to a semantic clash within something like a book-application.
Furthermore, the term "Site" should never be used as a shorthand-form for
"Website" in the German translation here because of its ambiguity with the
"Site" model in django.contrib.sites.
I'm honestly not really a fan of loanwords like "Website" but, I guess, in
this case it's the easiest solution. The problem with the ambiguity in
spoken German remains, though, but this is a problem for a another day ;-)
Just my 2c
