ooops ... nu s-a-nteles ... X-Country, in traducere este tara X
Eu am propus, prin analogie cu multe alte tari - Canada fiind pentru mine exemplul cel mai simplu - Happy Romania day! :-)
Ca sa testez, ieri am spus unor vorbitori nativi de engleza ca este ziua nationala a Romaniei (today we celebrate Romania's national day) si mi s-a raspuns imediat "Happy Romania day!" Evident ca sintagma "national day" exista, numai ca nu se foloseste in urari; asta-i tot ce-am vrut sa subliniez! Daca dai cautare pe google dupa "happy national day" vei constata ca se mentioneza cum ca de ziua natioanla se ureaza "Happy 4th of July!", "Happy Sweden day", etc. Confuzia vine, probabil, de la o alta sintagma - si ea foarte utilizata - care adreseaza urarea chiar tarii respective: "Happy National Day, America!", "Happy National Day, Canada!". Personal, am hotarat ca este mult mai corect sa le dau vorbitorilor de limba engleza exprimarile pe care EI le folosesc si sa nu incerc sa-i invat eu engleza mea ...
In aceeasi idee- in care nici eu nu vreau sa contrazic pe nimeni - suna oricum mai okay "Happy National Day" decat "Happy Romania -Country Day!". Iar de regasit urarea "Happy Romania -Country Day!" in contexte similare chiar ca n-am reusit, pe cand cealalta, de bine-de rau, romaneasca sau nu, exista. In alta ordine de idei, chiar in link-ul indicat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Day) sintagna "national day" apare de vreo 20 de ori, incepand din titlu, ceea ce ma face sa cred ca pana la urma nu e atat de fortata.
Din punctul meu de vedere, o traducere care include cuvantul "national" in urare suna destul de greoi si vorbitorii de engleza se refera la "X-Country Day" ca la ziua nationala. Nu vreau sa ma contrzic cu nimeni insa este una dintre acele situatii cand traducerea in engleza pare deosebit de ... romaneasca.

Today Romanians celebrate 90 years of national unity. All nations have a national holiday – the American “Independence Day” is no longer a secret for the world. Romanians celebrate their Union Day as a National Holiday. http://www.rounite.com/2008/12/01/romania-national-day/
