Wordsize may vary, but bytes are 8 bits.

So say you. Reality differs.

this may be a translation problem...

I see on wikipedia that the word "octet" can be used when 8 bits must be enforced, however "octet" in the french translation for "byte", so in french there is no difference between "byte" and "octet" (in fact I discover than "octet" can be used in english).

what about other langages? may be the problem is only in english?
