Sudeten Mountains or Sudetenland
Sudetenland is more a hisorical region. But the Sudeten Mountains is a name of the mountains.

the Sudetes
assuming we are on the Polish-English, not Polish-German forum ;)
Sudetenland is definitely a region of pre-WWII Germany, not the mountains.
The Sudeten is also used quite often, though, in English sources.
"Sudetes
Sudetes
Pronounced As: soodtz , Czech Sudety, Ger. Sudeten, mountain range, ..."
So - the Sudetes I'd say

: "Sudetes" gets the most hits on Google by far! Next best: "Sudeten Mountains" is only half as popular.

The Sudeten Mountains
see Encarta's entry:

I don't think this is a question of whether the term used in English has a Germanic form: Sudetes and Sudeten are both used in English texts.
Sudetenland, as I indicated is more of a historic land name.
