Common phrases
I haven't understood very well the meaning of the word शाबाश. Can I translate it into English as "Well done!" (phrase used when someone want to praise another person for good results of some action)? Or it sould be simply translated as "Done!" (It means that some work is completed). If it means "Done!", can you help me to translate the phrase "Well done!" into English.

बहुत अच्छा /बहुत खुब
The all three are word of exclamation when one do well something.
If we consider the unspoken part of the word then well done will be = (the work is) well done. Similarly in Hindi = बहुत अच्छा (काम किया)
We can also use "शाबाश" but actually it is "Congratulation"(for the work done). This word (शाबाश) greets the worker, not the work.

Typo- Plz read खूब instead of खुब
