What's the difference between a node and a device in MeshCentral?

Hey people,

I'm trying to improve German translation. But therefor I need some explanations from the experienced users.

First of all: How does MC differ between nodes and devices?

A node is a device?
I need a little more context I'm afraid

Hehe, so we are two, yet.

Well, it seems that MeshCentral does differentiate between nodes and devices. However the wording within the translation-list indicates this, because sometimes the word device(s) is used and sometimes it's nodes. Usually there's a reason for this like some nodes can be devices but all devices are nodes, if you know what I mean. :-/

So when I translate into German I should know if this is just a "cosmetic" difference or if this is important to differentiate between the two wordings.

i have 100% no idea, in my eyes, nodes and devices are the same thing,
you would need to give an example of the different phrases or sentences and where they are located to understand exactly

Hm, maybe it's used because of lack of display-space on mobile devices. I don't know. Maybe I'll find out or someone who knows will answer here.
