In Germany we have adopted the French term and call them (die) Pommes frites (pronounced 'pom-FRIT'). They are also nicknamed Pommes (now with a German pronunciation POM-muhs) in most of German or Fritten (pronounced FRIT-n) in areas closer to the Belgian/French border.
They are called French fries because "to french something" is to cut it into thin slices. The French themselves don't call their fries "French".
The British call "french fries" "Chips".
