In Germany the phrase would be:
"Alles Gute zum Geburtstag"
or
"Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag"

In casual Indonesian, 'Selamat ulang tahun', occasionally followed by a dip on the pond

I remember '生日快樂' from my mandarin class long ago

A few more from my birthday thread....

"Janmadin Mubarak" - Hindi (from Nilmarsh who started this all!)

"Hyvää syntymäpäivää!" - Finnish from Tapcho.

"Alles Gute zum Geburtstag" - German from Matthew.

--------------------------------------

Some others I know and I think are right (am not a n expert linguist at all but just know a few common phrases from some languages I had a smattering of or picked up over the years).

French - "Joyeux Anniversaire"

Portuguese - "feliz Aniversário" (I think)

And some from Africa..................

Swahilli - "Furaha ya kuzaliwa"

Shona - "Makorokoto ezuva rokuzvarwa"

Zulu - "Usuku olumnandi lokuzalwa"

Arabic - "Eid milad saaid" (Happy Birthday) or "Kullam wa antum bi khayr" (Blessings for the upcoming years) - also used for the New Year.

Since Finnish was already quoted (twice) here are three more languages spoken in Finland:

Swedish - Glad födelsedag
Sami - Somás riegadanbeaivve (in Lappland)
Romani - Latcho nastero divvus

And since we have inhabitants from other nearby nations too:

Estonia - Palju õnne sünnipäevaks
Russia - поздравляю с днём рождения (I wonder if got this one right?)

Well, seeing that South Africa was a Dutch Colony for years, it would stand to figure
