furigana for happy birthday?

[Tzortzakakis Dimitrios]

Hi everyone,
I know for instance that happy birthday in japanese is 誕生日おめでとう, but
what are the furigana please? (BTW, I am an electrical engineering major in
Greece working as a freelance electrician, I speak quite well english and
german, and am learning french and spanish besides japanese. Tomorrow is the
orthodox easter here in Greece and I am going to have a feast at my
sister's).

You can find the answer, in this case "たんじょうび", by putting your words
into an online dictionary, e.g.

Thanks a lot Ben, that's exactly what I've been looking for. I knew the たんじょうび reading but I was wondering if it was different in happy birthday. I
have a greek-japanese dictionary but it is dated (there's just one in
fact-by Vassilis Korakianitis). I got it as a present when I got my EE
degree.

Thanks a lot, Wasabi, BTW my name in japanese is more elligible than in
English、デミチリ・ジョジですand about english and german, 英語とドイツ語が少しできますよ、(I'm not sure if that's correct, but forgive me if it isn't).
