誕生日メッセージ
Two of my brothers who are twins will have a birthday on September 4th (today in the States). I can't believe that they will be 41 years old! So, today's topic will be about how to tell someone “Happy Birthday” in English with your non-Japanese friends!
In Japanese, I think most people just simply say, 「お誕生日おめでとう！」. In English, we have numerous ways to express a birthday greeting.
みいちゃんママ（妹尾佳江） has some good suggestions with a Japanese translation:

Some of the very basic messages I have used in the past including the following:

3. Birthday wishes especially for you!
4. Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

10. Happy birthday and many happy returns!
11. Congratulations on another year! Happy birthday”
12. Here's to many more happy years!
