That’s because in English as well as in German the Italian term is used 
for lack of a proper consistent terminology with similar authority.

Grace note is the category for all of these, be they long or short, 
slashed or not, slurred or not (before or on the beat…).

Indeed, I’ve never heard that either.

For what I know, German terminology differentiates between ‚Vorschlag‘ 
(likely corresponding to acciaccatura) and ‚Vorhalt‘ (likely 
corresponding to appoggiatura). But there are no actual counterparts to 
‘grace note’ or ‘slashed grace’.
And in general there are many different traditions and opinions on what 
the differences are and how each version is to be played.
