Since both coreutils and wget get their translations through the Translation Project [1], the question is one of the German translation team in the Translation Project. In this translation team, there is considerable freedom; what you see as an inconsistency is thus in fact a different preference of different translators. In fact, Wikipedia lists both as common choices in Germany and Austria.
