In Spanish would be:

Hola, ¿cómo estás?

It depends on the level of proximity with the interlocutor. This difference does not exist in English, but I have chosen the polite "you" here which translates in Spanish as Usted. The verbs with "usted" are conjugated as third person.

If polite "you" is meant to say formal or unfamiliar "you", then the German should be "Hallo, wie geht es Ihnen?" I don't know Spanish conjugation, but that would be the equivalent of "comment allez-vous", as opposed to "comment vas-tu?" If you go with the familiar, you would also capitalize the pronoun - "wie geht es Dir?"

And to knit pick even more, "Guten Tag" would be a more accurate translation of bonjour and buongiorno (as opposed to salut & ciao).

Nice quiz idea and well designed.

Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it because I don't know much about German and especially the difference between formal/familiar "you" in this language.

I have changed the sentence taking into account your advice. Btw, I also changed the Dutch and Russian sentences to more formal versions to be more consistent with the rest of the quiz.
