I'm always confused for a few seconds each time it happens, but in some places it's apparently common to use the term "parliament" as a generic term instead of using "legislature" in English. I guess it makes sense due to most parliamentary countries using completely different terms (e.g. the Japanese Diet, the Russian Duma, etc...), but it still feels like legislature is a better catch-all.
