Hum...
There's a few different ways of saying that.
Some of them are essentially loan words from other languages, some are local.
Adjø, farvel, hade bra, på gjensyn...
Those are just a small selection of words we use in such a context.
I think "adjø" is essentially based on a french word, "adieu", although we use our own spelling, the french word apparently means "to god", although that's something I had to look up for this comment as I didn't have the faintest idea.
"Farvel" means "fare thee well" or "farewell" in English, (yes, Norwegian and English are related as they're both germanic).
I'd probably translate "Goodbye" as "Ha det bra" even if it's not a one to one translation.
"Ha det bra" means "have it nice" (it is implied that it's a wish that you *will* have it nice/that things will turn out well for you).
"På gjensyn" roughly translates as "on the re-seeing" and is essentially almost identiall to the german "Auf Widersehen" seen in the picture you shared.
"Hade" is short for "Ha det" in "ha det bra" and is sometimes also used as a farwell wish.
A direct translation is only "have it" but it's still implied that you mean "Please, have it nice" or "I wish that you will have it well", "it" in this context being your life or state of being.
Sometimes we might also use "snakkes", that technically just menans "speaks" or some such but its implied meaning is that "We will speak more later" and that in turn implies that you like someone enough that you *will* speak more with them in the future and that your friendship remains strong.
Hum, other options...
"Sees" (two sylables with a pause between the first and second "e", basically idential to "snakkes" except the translation is "sees" in English and the implied meeaning is that you like them enough that you will make sure that you'll see, and meet with, them again)...
I can't think of any other goodbyes in my language right now...

That was Norwegian bokmål by the way.

  'identical and not "identiall"
  Spelling in the middle of the night isn't the easiest of things... -_-

  Hum, if someone is sick I might use "God bedring".
  Directly translated that means "good betterment" or "good healing".
  Essentially it's a wish for your healing process to turn out well.
  As you can probably tell from many of my examples when we tell you to have a nice life or a good healing or whatever even if we're essentially "commanding" you to have a nice life or some such, that is even though the actual words implies that we feel that you *should* have a nice life or good healing or whatever the *actual* meaning is usually just a well wish and what's implied is that we *hope* that you'll have a good healing or a good life or a good travel or whatever.
  Or in other words we wish a good life/good healing etc upon you.

Rack off you bastard, if you don't like someone, or see you later, if you like them.
