Say: “Call upon Allah, or Call upon Rahman; By whatever name ye call Upon Him, (it is well): For to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names”. [Al Qur’an 17:110]
I can say like, O King of kings, please Make this or that. Or, O All-Merciful, please do this or that. Or, O the absolute ruler, please do this and that only one time.
Is that true that due to Islamic point of view, I can call upon God as I described you?

No.
The Salat (the obligatory 5 times a day prayer) needs to be done in Arabic. Because you have to recite verses from the Quran during Salat. This can not be done in your own language. If you do not know arabic, then write it down in phoneatically arabic and read that during Salat. That is much better then memorizing the verses in your own language.
Besides, The Quran is very poetic which makes it easy to memorize even if you do not understand it.
The other prayers like dua where you do not need to recitate parts of the Quran, can be performed in every language.
Sorry i didng explain my self properly, the basics include quran for salah etc
Translation: Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between."
When the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to call Allah, may He be exalted, he used to say: O Allah, O Compassionate One. So the disbelievers would think why the Prophet would forbid them from worshipping multiple Gods when he would call upon two Gods - "Allah" and the "Compassionate One". This is why the verse was revealed: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman (compassionate one)". This means, call him by any of his 99 names, as narrated in a saheeh hadeeth from Tirmidhi.

I think that this might sounds quite illogical to many new Muslims. They may think why Allah accepts only Arabic while praying.
From Occupied Palestine:
We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.

Sorry sister herb but reciting quran can only be done in original language. Every other language changes the content and it is not the same.
Reciting Quran is one of the farzd parts of the salat. So there is not much choice than to learn some verses in Arabic.
Like said...learning some verses in Arabic is quite easy because the Quran is poetic. And you do not have to learn the whole Quran for ypur salat.
One thing, if I say “nu exista niciun al Dumnezeu decât unu, iar Muhamed este propfetul lui Dumnezeu” is this shahada accepted even if I said in Romanian language other than Arabic?

Yes, because "actions are by intentions". The intention is to take the testimony of faith, to become a Muslim by declaring that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is His messenger. As long as that belief is in your heart, there's no problem with doing dhikr or making du'a in a different language.

And, is it accepte even if I say shahada millions of times, each night before I go to sleep? Will I get rewarded if I say the shahada all the time? And if I made 4 times kufr and is shahada again accepted? Because, I think I have done more than 4 times and I don’t like this, because I have made an oath to God that I will never commit kufr nor shirk till the end. Because, my wish is to die as a good strong believer as I promised to God.

Asalaam Alikum, The wisdom behind praying in Arabic only is that it remind us the universal message of Lord and His oneness and give us spirit of unity and oneness among Ummah. It unite us together regardless of our race, color, nation or language. Religion of Islam is not just ritualistic religion, but inspire the person to be practical in all walk of life. While reading creator's message again and again, we ask for guidance that show us the straight path. This brings dynamic revolution to person's charchter since its is word of Allah. Quran says "those who have believed and their intellect is set at rest by the remembrance of Allaah. Unquestionably, only through the remembrance of Allaah do the minds find satisfaction"! (13 : 28). This is my views.
Allah knows best.
