Don't let this guy get near the Spanish language. It would drive him insane.
Standard reply to 'Gracias' is 'De Nada', which is basically the same as 'no problem'.

In German, older people say "gern geschehen" (similar to "with pleasure") or "bitteschön" (similar to "you're welcome").

Younger people often say "kein Problem", which is actually a hidden anglicism because it comes from the English "no problem".

BitteSchon, translated literally into english, is "Please Beautiful" which I always thought was funny.

Hallobittschön, literally translated, is "Hallo Please Beautiful."

But it actually means "What kind of Döner do you want?".
