Blame the Japanese! Caladbolg is the correct spelling of the sword, though if you convert it into Japanese katagana(カラ ボグ), (Ca->カ,la->ラ, bo-> ボ lg->グ) and back into English via romanization(カ->Ka/Ga,ラ->La ボ-> Bo グ->Gu), Kalabolg is what you get...

Anyway another question:

How is Saber summoned? Shirou didn't make the magic circle for her summoning right?

Actually...Saber was summoned outside of Japan...it was mentioned in Fate/Zero that Emiya(senior) summoned Saber in the main house of the Einzbern, back in Germany. The magic circle in the shed was actually just a recovery circle drawn by Saber under the supervision of Irisviel, Illya's mother. However even though it's a recovery circle it is drawn with the concept of drawing mana from the grail to the servant for faster recovery, it can be used as an (incomplete) summoning circle.
