Hello message

When you start a new game of NetHack, or restore a saved game[1], or receive mail[2], or enter a shop[3], you are greeted:

"Hello <player>, welcome to NetHack!  You are a <alignment> <gender> <race> <Class>."
"Hello, <player>!  Welcome to <Shopkeeper>'s <shop type>!"

For some roles "Hello" is replaced by a translated greeting[4]:

There are also translated versions of "Goodbye"[7]:
