Eep, I'm so pleased that people enjoyed this :)
I have a rough translation of the baby ponies' backcard which I will type up somewhen. It involves Baby Medley celebrating her birthday with a lot of balloons and getting the baby buggy as a present. Very cute!
@pinkkittywinks, I am looking forward to the Greek spotlight!

I got on and typed up my translation of the baby ponies' backcard :) . As before, there may be some inaccuracies.
Spoiler
Backcard Story:
Dusk had begun to fall in the forest as all the My Little Ponies gathered at the Stable Home to celebrate the first birthday of the Baby Pony.
There were multicoloured balloons all through the house and outside on the grass, all for the birthday party of the Baby Pony with the pretty notes.
The Baby Pony bounced in and out, scattering balloons and flying up high with her mummy. Suddenly, she saw her aunts and cousins - all the other baby ponies and their mummies - popping out from the beautiful multicoloured balloons. The Baby Pony bounced excitedly next to all the other Baby Ponies.
Then she opened her gifts and her surprised eyes saw the beautiful sunshade of the wonderful Baby Buggy. Her aunt gave her a pretty comb and two colourful ribbons for her mother to tie bows in her beautiful mane and long tail.
Later all the My Little Ponies sat down together. The Baby Ponies sat on the grass and played with the balloons.
The time passed and the Baby Ponies needed to sleep. So their mothers, after feeding them with their bottles, put them in the beautiful Baby Buggy and in a little while they were sleeping, and had the most beautiful dreams.
Notes:
1) Staulo-Spitaki is the name given to the ponies' home. Staulo I think means a stable. Spitaki is a sort of cute way of saying "home", and is used in a Greek version of the phrase "home sweet home". Staulo-Spitaki was the name given to the Greek release of the Show Stable.
2) The Baby Pony is described as having "pio charoumene nota", "the most happy notes" - thus implying that the story is about Baby Medley. I really struggled to find a way to translate this that made sense! If only El Greco had given the baby ponies names instead of calling them all Baby Pony.
3) Pony Kartosaki, literally "pony pushcart", is the Greek name for the Baby Buggy.
And while I'm rabbiting on about Greek things, here's some Greek pony names with translations.
Greek Pony Names:
- Blossom is Lily.
- Blue Belle is Elsê.
- Bow Tie is Chiounoula, meaning "snowball". This is also the Greek name for Snow White.
- Minty is Chloê, "grass" or "lawn". From an Ancient Greek word meaning a new green shoot growing in the spring.
- Butterscotch is Lemonitsa, "lemongrass".
- Cotton Candy is Rozalin - from roz meaning "pink".
- Lemon Drop is Zizi.
- Peachy is Melenia, meaning "honeyed" or "sugary".
- Then of course there are the Easter ponies, Lampaditsa ("little candle") and Paschalitsa, whose name means "ladybird" and also incorporates Pascha meaning "Easter".
