buona fortuna


Explanation:
scusate tutti, ma io tradurrei soltanto "buona fortuna", indipendentemente dal fatto che porti male o meno, semplicemente perchè è la traduzione più semplice e poi per "in bocca al lupo" esiste in inglese un'altra espressione (che purtroppo ora non ricordo e non ho modo di cercare, ma ne sono certa).

buon lavoro e .....good luck!!
