and “您” is a formal form of “你” with 'you' in english
that was so explanatory 您好,遇見您很高興 ..

I'm from Brazil and...well, there are many ways to say "Hello! Nice to see you here" in Portuguese, but I'll try to stick to only two.

"Oi! Legal te ver por aqui"
"Olá! Prazer em vê-lo."

I hope these ones will help. The first one is more informal.

Cześć = thesc (but ść in this transcription isn't ok)
Dzień dobry= Jen dobry (but don't read "o" as in too = u: )
Do zobaczenia = do (as in dobry) zobathenia.

I don't think it's helpfully.
