I hear “No problem” far more often.

    Most languages respond something like “it’s nothing”, de nada. English is a little weird saying “welcome”.

      Well, in German we say “bitte” or “gern geschehen”, which is close to the “welcome”. Of course, people can and do also say “kein Problem”. I guess in my experience it depends on how I feel about the task and the person I did it for.

      Thai/Lao is ไม่เป็นไร/ບໍ່​ເປັນ​ຫຍັງ translated as (implied subject “it”) + negation marker + copula + anything or “it’s nothing”
