hello and welcome

English to Arabic

I am a primary teacher in Oxfordshire, England. We provide education for a wide range of nationalities due to our proximity to an international military college. Is there a site where I can copy and paste the phrase hello and welcome into as many languages as possible to make new non-english speaking children feel less nervous ?
