Goed geluk is not right, it has a totally different meaning (close
your eyes and just do it...)

Common use:
Succes
Succes gewenst (wishing you good luck)
Veel succes (lots of good luck)
Sterkte (when a person needs luck AND some personal courage)

Special:
Toi toi toi (Amsterdam slang, mainly used before a performance)
De mazzel (like mazzeltof, mainly used in Amsterdam slang)

The exact translation of good = goed and luck = geluk. But in dutch you don't say goed geluk but veel (= many or a lot) geluk.

'Goed geluk' is not an expression that is used often.
(only used as 'op goed geluk' which means let's just try it and see what happens)

The translation you are looking for is 'veel succes' which means 'a lot of succes'.

Goed geluk. It still means the same thing.

I would say ' succes' as that's what we use in dutch for that.

Or you could use Het succes which is the success.
