Or you could’ve just give a link somewhere with those messages to a page
where someone could drop you a translation in their language ;-)

Thank you for that information, Alexandros. :) I rely extensively on
machine translation, and online resources like Wiktionary, when I do
translations for these weekly threads in most languages. There will
probably be more linguistic errors in the future. Comments regarding
translations would be appreciated.

Aside from the actual content (it's nice to see the legal case in
Greece ending), seeing the subject in Greek was one more reason I
became happy. But I think a small correction is in place. A more
appropriate way of saying "What's making you happy this week?" would
be "Τι σας κάνει ευτυχείς αυτήν την εβδομάδα;", where "ευτυχείς" (an
adjective) would be the plural form of happy, which is used both when
addressing groups of people and when being polite. Alternatively
"ευτυχισμένους", could be used, with exact same meaning, just using
the participle form (and in the appropriate conjugation) instead of
the adjective. "Xαρούμενους" (again a participle, just of a different
verb) would also be valid with the same meaning for most people,
although if one wants to be pedantic, "χαρά" is closer to "joy" than
"happiness".
