agree  aglaya: Agree for bienvenue (with an e), disagree for "de rien" for both Can and Fr if it's for welcoming someone.

agree  writeaway: with aglaya-your de rien translation is wrong. means 'you're welcome', nothing to do with greeting someone and no Fr/Can difference at all. imho, this is just another Mickey-taking question.

  -> true, I didn't see the "greeting" context and was giving a rendering of the shortened "you're welcome" = "welcome" but thx
