It introduces supplementary eludication, "that is to say" it is something that is stated prior to additional clarification, "in other words" you can expect further explanation immediately after it!
In spoken Spanish you will also hear "o sea" used in the same circumstances.
SPANGLISH ALERT
The literal meaning is not "is saying", but rather: "it is to say".

I'm sorry but there is not such word in English ,"ya:" is only a word used in the Spanish language. To express those ideas that your given you must used the proper pronouns and adjectives or maybe a verb. As you already read the translation to those sentences in English are: Yo ya estoy listo - (en español esto es una redundancia) se debe decir- Estoy listo ó Yo estoy listo, but in English is: I'm already done! I am already done or I'm done Yo ya me he comido la cena-(redundancia en español nuevamente) esto deberia decirse Yo comi o ya comi ó he comido, but in English is: I eaten my supper or I ate my supper Ya lo veras! (bien utilizado en español) in English should be: You will see. The "ya" is change to a you in english Ya lo conozco a el!(redundancia) lo conozco a el ó o ya lo conoci, in English you say: I already know him or I know him "Ya" is change for I in English If any doubt just email me. If I dont know something we can look it up in the internet

LIterally it means "is saying"
But is most commonly used as "I mean" ,"refering to" or "in other words"
Ex. Soy un panadero, es decir hago pan.
(I'm a breadmaker, (in other words, meaning) I make bread)

It depends on the sentence, can you post it?
I guess the most generic translation would be "that is to say" or something like that.
