Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag und für das neue Lebensjahr alles Liebe und Gute. | Remarks about the translation | We are giving a birthday card to a German colleague- but want to make sure it is appropriate. I know this is a traditional German greeting for a birthday- but am not sure of its exact meaning/tone. |

IserbNumber of messages: 30 | Hi, there are a few mistakes in your greeting, the correct way to say that would be:
"Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag und alles Liebe und Gute für das neue Lebensjahr"
Provided you know his age (let's say he's 30), you could write :
"Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum 30. Geburtstag und alles Liebe und Gute für das neue Lebensjahr"
The point after the number is important, it's the German way of transforming "30" into "30th". The dieresis are also important, ü and u are two different letters in the German alphabet. Regards. | | |

Thanks. | | |
