I´m not sure what that is either, but, it should maybe be ¨Qué bueno, sé feliz¨

You need two things the translator won´t necessarily give you in many cases, all of which revolve around it not being good at longer (really more than a couple words sometimes) phrases.

1) Qué bueno. This is a very common phrase in Spanish, and is probably best not translated quite literally, but rather at ¨How nice¨, or ¨That´s good¨

A lot of our English exclamations such as How Cool! ( Qué chido! or Qué padre) etc use Qué where we would tend to use nice.

How Nice! That´s Nice! (Qué Bueno!)

How Terrible! (Qué terrible-horror)

Also, se is probably really sé which is the imperative form for Ser (be)

So, How Nice, Be Happy! would be my guess.

What you are trying to translate was written incorrectly Que bueno ser feliz means How good to be (a) happy (person). ¿Ya Eres feliz?

Your answer is a better guess. The infinitive didn´t dawn on me. - rogspax, Nov 14, 2013

Try the translator first and if it doesn't make sense we'll help.

That good is happy, how good is happy, is what I got
