This is what Google Translate also says. This is also one
of the translation proposed by several German-French or
German-English dictionaries. Chat GPT agrees with that.

You are wrong in assuming this side-meaning when it comes to
Einstein's paper. We're not bothered by this considering the level of
misunderstanding you're at.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellenpaket

    Ein Wellenpaket, eine Wellengruppe oder ein Wellenzug ist eine
    räumlich oder zeitlich begrenzte Welle. Mathematisch kann ein
    Wellenpaket als zusammengesetztes System einfacherer Wellen
    aufgefasst werden. Insbesondere kann ein Wellenpaket durch
    Superposition (Addition) mehrerer ebener Wellen dargestellt werden.
    Diese Zerlegung des Wellenpakets nach Frequenzkomponenten ist durch
    die Fouriertransformation motiviert und kann experimentell mit einem
    Spektrometer bestimmt werden. Die Geschwindigkeit, mit der sich die
    Hüllkurve eines Wellenpakets fortbewegt, heißt
    Gruppengeschwindigkeit.

translation:

    A wave packet, a wave group, or a wave train is a wave that is
    spatially or temporally limited. Mathematically, a wave packet can be
    considered as a composite system of simpler waves. In particular, a
    wave packet can be represented by the superposition (addition) of
    several plane waves. This decomposition of the wave packet according
    to frequency components is motivated by Fourier transformation and
    can be experimentally determined with a spectrometer. The speed at
    which the envelope of a wave packet moves is called the group
    velocity.

Seems like you are lying again or that you are not that good in
mastering you native tongue Thomas.
