In Greek, my maternal language, both are called "computers". A calculator is specifically a "κομπιουτεράκι", or small computer, whereas "computer" is "υπολογιστής", literally, "calculator".
In English also the two words' literal meanings are the same, and it's only modern usage that distinguishes them, as sibling comments argue.
