you also have odd versions of words.
a dielectric is an insulator.
so, dielectric field is going to be the energy stored in a capacitor
"dielectric background" is going to be a discharged capacitor, or any discharged area of space, sure not the source of a magnetic field.
not trying to mess with you, or your ideas or terminology,
just pointing out that your terminology is just as messed up as theirs.
so don't be to hard on them.
most people think in words and not ideas. likely why they don't spot when they are making simple logic errors with words.
people use what they can, and often it works for them. so use what you can. and if you make a translation from someone else, be careful that you don't make an error because you don't understand where they are coming from.

in short, don't lost in translation.
