consistent
Describes a person or action that follows a plan or principle logically and without deviation. It means being determined and steady.
Sie hat ihre Entscheidung konsequent umgesetzt, auch als es schwierig wurde.
She carried out her decision consistently, even when it became difficult.
'Konsequent' (consistent) is the adjective related to the noun 'die Konsequenz' (consequence). To act 'konsequent' means to act in a way that leads to a logical result, a consequence, that corresponds to a principle.
Die Konsequenz seines Handelns war ihm nicht bewusst.
He was not aware of the consequence of his actions.
'Konsequent' (consistently) is very often used as an adverb to describe how an action is carried out. It then remains unchanged after the verb.
Sie verfolgt ihre Ziele sehr konsequent.
She pursues her goals very consistently.
Common combinations are 'einen Plan konsequent verfolgen' (to pursue a plan consistently), 'eine Regel konsequent anwenden' (to apply a rule consistently), or 'bei seiner Meinung konsequent bleiben' (to stick consistently to one's opinion).
Trotz Kritik blieb er konsequent bei seiner Entscheidung.
Despite criticism, he consistently stuck to his decision.
strict
Both words fit when requirements are followed without deviation. Consistent action emphasizes that a person carries out a decision or plan continuously. Strict places more emphasis on the rule itself or on following it especially precisely and without exceptions. Use konsequent for behavior and strikt for the strictness of the requirement.
Die Trainerin blieb konsequent und ließ die Mannschaft nach dem Plan weitertrainieren.
The coach remained consistent and had the team continue training according to the plan.
Für die Mannschaft gilt eine strikte Regel ohne Ausnahmen.
The team has a strict rule with no exceptions.
