To my big disappointment, according to the poll, only 37% of the people who answered call the chemical element with the symbol "K" kalium in their native language, and 63% calls it potassium.
In my native Hungarian, it is Kálium, and in Korean, it used to be called 칼륨 (kallyum), but it is now officially changed to 포타슘 (potasyum), to follow the international standards.
I personally believe that internationally we should call it Kalium to follow the symbol K.
