Radiator is kaloryfer in Polish. It's especialy interesting because most European languages seem to use the word radiator.

In Croatian the word "kalorifer" is used colloquially to mean a fan coil heater, while a regular radiator is "radijator".

In Romanian too is "calorifer". It comes from the French word "calorifère". But the French people don't use it anymore. They use "radiateur". :)

What is the difference between radiator and heating? It doesn't accept heating as an answer, but if I check the two words in German, they give the same translation...
Heating is a general term that does not necessarily mean a radiator.
Because "central heating" is "κεντρική θέρμανση" and is not always connected to a single radiator.

Radiator = einzelner Heizkörper, Heating = Heizung/Zentralheizung
