Sorry, but server (EN) translates to Server (DE).
Host (EN) translates to Host (DE).
And BTW, most computing terms translate 1:1 English:Deutsch (es hat sich in der Praxis so eingebürgert).
A server is a /role/ which potentially any device can assume, a /host/, OTOH, is a big, "old-style" /computer/ like the IBM S-390, which dwells in caves underneath banks and govt offices and communicates with the world via SNA and 3250 terminals.
Supposing that you refer to the Menu File -> Add Server (english version) and/or to the icon with the plug on the upper-left, I think that the translation is correct.
If a change is to be made at all, may I suggest:
(GERMAN) Verbindung hinzufügen
(English) Add connection
... and the "Server" hierarchy in the tree pane should in this case be renamed "Connections".
I also have the impression that there is a confusion/overlap in the GUI between the "Add connection" and "Connect" functionality, and I tend to think that the icon with the plug on the upper-left should "connect" to any selected (in the tree pane) "Server" object, instead of "adding a connection".
(I agree mostly with Harald)

Hello,
version 1.12.2
Connect to Server (Verbindung zum Server hinzufügen)
Somebody translated the word host by using the word Server.
Which is totally confusing.
I didn't expect that I have to fill the host in a field that is named server.
The German word for host is Host.
