I added most translations to this gif file. I use it on my homepage.

I suppose, in Lithuanian would be better to use the plural form, it's more common:
Sveiki atvykę

[patricio]

I found a website with the translation for "welcome" in many languages. Not sure if all of them are correct. Check it out...
http://www.elite.net/~runner/jennifers/welcome.htm

[Leviwosc]

Hi Patricio, thank you for your imput. The link you posted is quite known and I already knew of its existence. But as you see, we're not using the list and I have two arguments why we're not using that list.

1. We're not sure about the accuracy of this site.
2. All the translations are written in the Latin alphabet! Even the languages which usually are not written in the Latin alphabet, but in Cyrillic alphabet for example.

Here we try to construct a list with translations which are accurate and written in the right script. Russian in Кириллица (Cyrillic), Korean in 한글 (Hangul), Georgian in მხედრული (Mkhedruli), etc.

Ron.

P.s. I have updated the gif file.

Arabic عــربــي

For welcome we say :

أهـــــلا و ســـــهــــلا بـــكــم

I realize this thread is very old, but I just came across it. I just wanted to say that the site mentioned above (Jennifer's Language Page) does use Cyrillic and almost all other scripts (not just Latin!) and is very responsive to feedback. It has grown to more than 3000 languages. If you see inaccuracies (or omissions) and send them in they are usually added to the site within a few days. The site's review process for checking the accuracy of new translations is described here.
