The general meaning is "enjoy your meal"; it's not a literal translation.

Translated to English, the French words "bon appetite" mean "good appetite." The next time you eat with friends or family, say, "Bon Appetite!" to let them know that you want then to have a jolly good meal!

Literal translation is something like "Good Appetite", but the meaning is pretty much, "Happy Eating" or "Enjoy your food". In other words, we hope you have a "Good Appetite," because you are really going to enjoy the food.
