Well in Chinese Pinyin/Alphabet, we got 26 words eaxactly the same as English do, but V is used as a different word, and all 26 letters are pronouced totally different from English. And we also have some Pinyin for every work like an English does:)

A great place to go if you want to learn how to say something in another language (though you won't be trying to earn money by doing it on mylot) is to try here http://world.altavista.com/ it's a translator. It's not always 100% perfect but it's a great source. You can even take an entire web page and translate it into another language just by typing in the web address!

In Danish you would say: Tillykke med fødselsdagen. In english that mean congratulation with your birthday.

In spanish, the term is "Feliz Cumpleanos" (That n is actually pronounced n-yay, but I don't know how to put the squiggly line up there)
