In Austria, Pfannkuchen and Palatschinken are the same, similar like French "crêpe".
In Berlin/Northern Germany, they are not: Crêpe is called Eierkuchen, while Pfannkuchen looks like a doughnut but usually has jam inside.
German "Torte" and French "tarte" are not the same. Depending on what it looks like, we would call it "Kuchen", "Torte" or "Fladen".
