TOPIC STARTER | Thank you, merci, grazie :-) | Nov 1, 2010 |
Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to contribute so far. As we all know, online sources cannot necessarily be trusted (and I clearly got the conjugations wrong for some of them, thereby proving this point!) so I do appreciate all your help.
@Catherine: Bora da! Our church gave me a list of countries represented, and it would appear that we don't have any Welsh people attending! Sorry about that, rest assured I haven't missed you out on purpose ... See more Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to contribute so far.

| Chinese Mandarin and Tagalog | Nov 2, 2010 |
For Chinese Mandarin written format, there are two:
1) China (uses simplified) -欢迎
2) Taiwan & Hong Kong (use traditional) - 歡迎
For the Philippines,
Tagalog or Filipino - "Mabuhay" is correct

Phew!
BTW, we have a banner at our church with these words sewn on (at least we used to! They've taken it down for some reason!).

| Добре дошли (Bulgarian) | Nov 2, 2010 |
The Bulgarian is correct. It is applicable for both singular (formal greeting) and plural.

In Danish, you say "Velkommen". =)
(If you ever need the Danish translation!)

...we say "Καλώς ήλθατε". The word "υποδοχή" actually means "reception".
