The correct pronunciation depends on language (German vs. Deutsch, for an extreme example), so non-English speakers could still use the wrong pronunciation when speaking English. In my own language, 'celts' sounds like 'kelts', but until now I thought the correct way to say it in English was 'selts'.

This exactly. In French we use a soft “c” and I assumed English did the same because the only use I knew was about Larry Bird's team!
