Translation of the English word "efficient" in French

I noticed that "efficient" gets translated in French as "efficace".
However, "efficient" and "effective" have two very different meanings. Google Translate is equally mixing things up, but the French word "efficient" does seem to exist.

Is French less specific in these two words, or is it a misunderstanding of the difference at / error by KwizIQ?

This question relates to:French lesson "Le plus/Le moins = The most/the least (Superlative with Adverbs in French)"
