St. Valentine's Day, the most romantic day of the year, is just around the corner. Celebrated on February 14 each year, it is a time for romance and love, with many people giving cards, letters, flowers or presents.

We at FreeTranslation have got together a list of popular romantic Valentine's messages. We have translated them into Italian, French, Spanish (for Spain and for Latin America), Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), German, Japanese, and put them onto FreeTranslation.com.

Find out what 'I love you' is in Japanese, 'Love and Kisses' in German or ‘Yours Forever’ is in Spanish, by going to our Valentine's phrases page. And there are lots more too!

You can email any of the romantic phrases to your own Valentine with our compliments. Feel free to use the translated phrases in cards or letters to your loved ones.

Plus, we'd like to know if there are any we've missed, so do take advantage of the opportunity to send us at FreeTranslation some of your own via our Official FreeTranslation.com Facebook group.

We will be adding more topical translations to FreeTranslation.com, so keep checking back for the latest phrases of the moment! Use our new Share button to make it easy to return to FreeTranslation.com.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
