I have used the online translators, but they always give something that is not actually used in Greece. It's my friend's birthday today and I just want to make a sign for her in Greek.
Thank you!

............"Καλες Γιορτες, Σε αγαπω" Kales Yiortes, Se ayapo. Christmas, is Χριστουγεννα. Hristuyenna. edit : Holidays IS διακοπες as well, but only as in "summer holidays" Given the Season, we say Holidays meaning Celebration as well. Literally, 'holidays' mean celebration. So these days we say Happy Holidays, meaning Happy Celebration.... Happy Christmas!! lol those Greeks!!! ;))

It's "Chronia Polla" , which means "may you have many years of life" . We dont use the exact translation of "happy birthday" all that much but it's " Eftichismena genethlia" just so you know. Hope this helps!

There are various ways to say it:
1. Hronia Polla (Hrohnia Pohlah) - which means "many years"
This songs says it at 0:57 (chorus) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQr19Lb34lU
2. Kala Yenethlia (kah-lah yeh-nehth-leea) - which means "happy birthday"
3. Eftihismena Yenethlia (ef-tea-he's-meh-nah yeh-nehth-leea) - which means "may you have a joyous birthday"
4. Na Zisis - (nah zee-sis) which means "long life to you"
In this video they say both "Na Zisis" and "Hronia Polla" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWPe9wJbExI

Not sure about modern Greek, but in ancient koine Greek (the language of the common folks, as opposed to the academicians or philosophers) class, we sang "Soi Gennesia Makaria"
Soi=To you
Gennesia=Birthday
Makaria=Blessed/Happy
If I had a Greek font here, I could show you what that looked like.
