If this is going to be one greeting for each _translation_, they should be different. Even though there isn't any standardised spoken Norwegian, the way a text is read is standardised (you don't read the word "jeg" as "æ" when reading a bokmål text even if you are from Trondheim) and if these texts are to show a translation, they should be read, not spoken in a random dialect. And the word "welcome" is different in bokmål and nynorsk. (No, Norwegian language issues are not straight-forward :-)) I am pretty sure Karianne is capable of reading both bokmål and nynorsk, though :-) Magni :) -- sash is very good for you.
