AFAIK it's pronounced 'hash' in American English.
In Swedish it any of these:
fyrkant [fürkahnt] (square)
brädgård [braidgohrd] ('timberyard', am. 'lumberyard') which what it is used for on Swedish maps

# in American English is called "the pound sign". Sometimes, in telephone menus you can hear "pound key", as in " press the pound key now".

I'm under the impression that Americans call it a pound. In ZA, if you ask someone to press the "pound" sign they'll probably try to find the GBP currency glyph.
Afrikaans: hekkie (literally gate), huts
ZA English: hash

In Spain we say Almohadilla (small cushion)

We call it Cancelletto (small gate).
| | | |
Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you that in Russia they call it "решетка" (grid).

I've heard it called "numeral".

| It's hash in UK English | Feb 10, 2010 |
I always thought it was in US English as well (it's not actually used much in the UK anyway, so I assumed we got it from them) - so what do Americans call the actual pound sign £ then?

Hekje (sometimes pronounced as 'hekketje')

| Raute in German | Feb 10, 2010 |
In Germany, we call it "Raute", at least when it refers to the telephone key (Please press the Raute-Taste)

Here in Palestine, the Arabic designation is sillam (ladder).
BTW, in America, I know it as the number key, but it's the pound sign (for weight).

I think it's called "el signo de número". I doubt anyone would understand almohadilla
