cumpleaños = birthday

fecha = date

To be sure, the word is "cuál," not "qual."

Don't forget tildes, also, as they are very important in Spanish.

Qual es la cumpleanos (with minimal spelling/punctuation corrections "¿Cuál es el cumpleaños?")

This would mean "What is the anniversary?" but in normal usage one would say "¿Cuál es el aniversario?" Probably you meant "¿Cuál es tu/su cumpleaños?". (What is your/his/her/their birthday?)

The first one means what is today's date...

The second one is what is your birthday.

Hope this helps

We would say when is your birthday even though the literal Spanish is which ¿Cuál es tu cumpleaños? - FELIZ77, Oct 17, 2011
