There are a few main ways to say "you're welcome" in French:
- Je vous en prie / Je t'en prie
I feel this is a little more formal than the others, but is the
canonical French response to "thank you". In some sense, it can be
equivalent to "don't worry about it".
Google translate was right. It is widely used, it's informal and it likely comes from English in the first place.
This phrase likely comes from the Spanish
de nada.
Rien means "nothing", so it could be somewhat analogous to "don't give it a second thought". But shorter and more informal.
This is the literal translation of "welcome". Very used in Canada,
but less so in other French-speaking countries as it is considered an
anglicism. Its
correct
use is mostly one of greeting or of appreciation, like when you say, for example, that relief is welcomed.
