I had found exactly the same link, but wasn't sure

Chilleron I have also found out it is definitely a type of sleeve/arm in a list of variants like raglan, kimono etc. and found a Spanish to German sewers glossary that lists Drachenkeil as un Chilleron in Spanish if that helps anyone!

Here is the link to the picture. From the text it sounds like it is referring to the sleeves, but still not sure of a translation of it.
Ingeborg Gowans (X) Apr 3, 2008:

Drachenkeil referring to the jeans or blouse?

gusset

Found a sewing glossary that had "gusset" for "Keil".
Peer comment(s):
neutral GeorginaW (X) : yes, I was puzzling how a gusset would fit into a sleeve but it can be under the arm, visual at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusset

kite gore / gusset / insert / let-in piece

I'm guessing it would be a kite-shaped insert (inset piece of fabric) of some kind.

Glossary link confirms kite gusset for tights ...
