My native language is German but I lived in Spain for a long time and there they call them “nubes”, clouds.
žužu in Czech (ž as the first sound in Zhukov), but it’s often called marshmallow as well (especially the iconic/most common form).
In Polish we call them pianka, diminutive for foam
Malvaviscos. En español.
Mályvacukor (hungarian) - translates to mallow candy / mallow sugar

Marshmallow (Swedish)
Yea I’m Swedish-speaking, and couldn’t figure out what we call it, if not marshmallow
