English term or phrase: Well done!
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.

शाबाश is the word used for the entire term 'well don e'. Other than this one can also use terms like बहुत ख़ूब, बहुत अच्छा, क्या बात है! वाह! वाह!, in order to convey the same meaning.
Example sentence:
शाबाश! तुम ने तो आज कमाल कर दिया|

well done!
बहुत अच्छा /बहुत खुब


Explanation:
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.
