location / site
'der Standort' and 'die Location' both refer to a place, but they fit different situations. 'Standort' is neutral and factual. It is used for the location of companies, buildings, devices, or people. 'Location' is used mainly for a place chosen for an event, a party, or photo and film shoots. Learners may confuse the words because both can mean a building or site. For a party or conference, 'Location' sounds natural; for the fixed location of a company, 'Standort' is more likely.
