Literally, mazal tov means 'good luck' but is often used in the context of congratulations.

Hi,
It is in Hebrew and the meaning is:  Mazal = luck  Tov = good  so it's congratulating someone to have "good luck" but as Eliesheva mentioned (gave her 2 thums up) it is used in different ways, e.g: Achieving something after many attempts, new born, weddings, Bar-Mitzva, after signing a deal / contact, new job, new position, etc.
Best regards,

Mazal Tov in Hebrew literally means "good fortune" i The phrase has been incorporated into Yiddish as "Mazel Tov," and is now used in modern Hebrew and English as well. It is often used to mean "congratulations."
