Some alternative ways to say 'Good luck' in England are:

Fingers crossed

Be lucky

Hope the gods are looking down on you

Break a leg (usually said to actors before they are due to go on stage)

Good fortune

Wish you well

Strongs

Go get 'em

and: 'all the best'

Bonne chance in French (sounds like bon shons).

Sterkte (Afrikaans for Good Luck)

As a brief addendum, one tells an actor to "break a leg" because saying "good luck" to an actor about to perform is viewed as wishing them bad luck. The origin of the phrase is obscure, but the most common story is that an actor was profusely wished good luck before a show and during a stunt, broke his leg. The company and associated actors following superstition, would tell their fellows to break a leg to wish good luck as wishing an actor good luck could make them break a leg. Finally, if you are wishing luck to a hunter/soldier/fighter pilot the appropriate terms in English is "Good hunting".
