As DX, you are to send your power level... that can obviously be in any
language or format you choose. One thousand (spelled out, maybe in Spanish,
French, or Russian, or whatever): 1K: AK: 1000, etc. ad nauseum. It's up to
the receiver to "interpret" what was sent as being a power level and record
it as such. If you can't interpret as sent, it's up to YOU to ask for
clarification.
