Hi members!
I have one Japanese word it is difficult for me to transrate to English.
That's 'お疲れ様です'.It is usuful for us and we can use this word in several situation.
Sometimes it is easy for me to transrate it.
For example,
a)We can say it when we go out our office every evening,'お疲れ様でした'.It is transrated to 'See you tomorrow!'.
b)In the office lobby,sometimes,guard man or reception lady say 'お疲れ様です'when we show office ID.It is transrated to 'Hello'.
c)We can also use it on behalf of '乾杯！' with colleague.It is transrated to 'Cheers!'.
What is difficult for me to transrate 'お疲れ様でした'is following situation.
One day,a Indian lady came to our office a few month.
She worked in our office but not related my work.
So I had only talked a few times.
In the last day for her,she said 'good-bye' to whole of people in the office with chocolate.
When she came to me,I have no word except 'thank you' for chocolate from her.
In Japanese,we can say 'お疲れ様でした'in this situation.
Could you please advise me what can I say in there!

Well, maybe you don't have to translate it.
It is because western people don't have this kind of culture like to say "Otsukaresama".
When I was during the internship program in Vancouver, "See you tomorrow" and "Have a good night" were said for when you're leaving.
It's the difference between two different cultures, so ther is no way to explain sometimes. Just the way it is!
Try to feel and understand the western culture, something cannot be translated actually.
Anyway,"Otsukaresama!" lol

Thank you for your advice.
That's true!Maybe I never have to translate it.
I have to get a lot of vocablary and sentence in English that is suitable for each situation.
I'm impressed by the sentence given by マーカス.
It is not translated 'お疲れ様でした',but it's great sentence in my situation.
I want to get many,many sentence with talking with you in this communitiy.
