Explanation:
A thin client may be a program or a device for the execution of thin-client application programs. Unfortunately, however, there is no precise definition (in quantifiable terms) for when the client program or device may be called a thin client or not.و
Thick clients, also called heavy clients, are full-featured computers that are connected to a network. Unlike thin clients, which lack hard drives and other features, thick clients are functional whether they are connected to a network or not.
Note: you may like to tweak the translation

عميل معالجة البيانات/الخادم، وعميل عرض البيانات/الخادم


Explanation:
والعميل في الحالتين (وليس الخادم) قد يكون برنامجا أو جهازا ويمكن تلخيص الفرق الأساسي بينهما على النحو التالي

A thick client accepts data from the server, and processes it on the client.

A thin client is a view only. All processing is performed on the server, at which time the server gives back only the view. The client’s only responsibility is to present it.

والعميل (يسمى أحيانا الزبون) عبارة عن مجموعة من البرامج تستخدم لبدأ عملية ما
فعلى سبيل المثال، فإن متصفح الانترنت هو نوع معين من برامج العميل
