I need help to understand the citytpyes in WotL. My translator gives the same output by different words.

Town and City = both City.

Hamlet and Village = both village.

Can you give me a rankingsystem and a little discription, that i can better understand.

They all mean community. The names just designate population.

Thorp being smallest, then hamlet, then village, then small town, large town, small city, large city, and finally metropolis.

This is all in the Dungeon Master's Guide, page 137, look there for exact population figures, I can't find them in the SRD so I can't post them here.
