* Français: "sites internet" ("sites web" is more "franglais" so more people will frown at it).
* Esperanto: "interretejoj", "interretaj paĝaroj" (though here "TTT-ejoj" [websites] is maybe more frequent but not necessarily "better" language).
* Nederlands: I'm not sure how to translate "site" but both "Internet" and "web" should be their own Dutch equivalents IIUC.
* Ich weiss nicht wie es auf Deutsch zu sagen, aber ich erunterstelle, dass Du [KaiRo] es wisst.

In general, I believe that "the Internet" is more "international" (and thus easier to translate both faithfully and understandably) than "the web".
