No, it's absolutely correct, and it's wide-spread in the industry. InDesign and QuarkXPress use it as well, and I guess other DTP pograms do the same. The same goes for the German translation.

Exactly. We used to have the term "templates" in earlier versions, which caused a lot of confusion, so we changed it to the industry standard, which is "master pages"/"Musterseiten".

Who uses "Mater" these days? I think the answer is no, as we use terms that most users are familiar with whenever possible.
