Translation:
Bye. See you later.
How else can you say "Goodbye?" What have you heard native English speakers say?

"What's up?"
This is a casual expression used in informal conversation, NOT formal situations.
Translation:
How are you?
Cultural Note:
Though Americans ask "What's up?" and "How are you?," it is meant as a greeting to be polite. Standard responses are "Fine," "Great," "Ok," "I could be better." Unless you are close friends, people do not expect a detailed response about how you REALLY feel. We are just saying "Hi."
