How to naturally translate "お疲れさま" into English

I studied Japanese in college, but have only found myself speaking Japanese few times in real life.
I think it's difficult to translate directly into English.
Well, English does not have a direct translaion.
I can tell you what we would say in similar situations.
If someone worked hard and you want to thank them, you can say "Thanks for your hard work" or "I really appreciate what you did".
If someone looks exhausted and you want to say something kind and sympathetic, you can say "you must be tired" or "you must have had a long day".


我在大学里学过日语,但在现实生活中只说过几次。
我认为很难直译成英语。
嗯,英语没有直译。
我可以告诉你在类似的情况下会说什么。
如果某人工作很努力,你想感谢他们,你可以说“感谢你的努力工作”
或者“我真的很感激你所做的一切”
如果某人看起来很累,而你想说些友好和同情的话,你可以说“你一定累了”,或者“你一定有漫长的一天”。
