The one in Chinese is used quite often when we greet people in Chinese New Year...

Nice

Very nice

What we were looking for ! Woohoo !!

But are they litteral translations or what was used in Star Trek ? (I know, my question is not clear lol)

I think when there's klingon language is in it, that it is from the movie

The spanish translation at those pages is very similar to the one we used, but I like more our translation

I understand you, but I'm not sure of tyhe answer. The spanish translation (translated into english again) is Long life and prosperous.

The other day, William Shatner appeared in a episode of "The Prince of Bel Air" (yes, it's still aired xD) and the translation they used was "Larga vida y prosperidad"
I prefer ours, anyway.

yups same to me. i wish my girlfriend that sentence in chinese and my familiy in duthc

Well.. the supposed Danish version is wrong:

---
Lev længe og blomstre
Fred og langt liv

Initially it can be discussed, if "at blomstre" (the equivalent of "to flourish") is the best translation to use in the context. According to my knowledge that term in the given context is seldom used. But it's hard to find another translation that fits as good, if it should sound a bit like the English imperative.

On the other hand; spelling's not something you can discuss - the verb "blomstre" is "blomstr" (imperative)!
