terminal
'Terminal' and 'Endgerät' can both mean a technical device through which a user works with a network or computer system. 'Terminal' is narrower and often sounds more technical: it is usually a device or access point with a screen and keyboard for inputting and outputting data. 'Endgerät' is more general and means devices at the end of a communication network, for example a smartphone, tablet, computer, or printer. The words can be confusing because both have to do with networks. When talking about a user's device in everyday life, 'Endgerät' usually fits. When talking about special access to a computer system, 'Terminal' is more natural.
