That's cool!
¿Cómo se dice "That's cool" en castellano? ¿Hay variaciones dialectales?

Sí, me imagino que cada país tiene su forma de decir eso.

Yo digo generalmente "¡eso es genial!! o en idioma más familiar "¡está chévere!" o "¡muy chévere!"

Tiene muchas variantes regionales coloquiales.

En México, la más común es "¡Qué padre!". Antes, también se decía "¡Súper!"

Algunas formas neutras que se entienden en cualquier lugar: "¡Qué bien!", "¡Genial!", "¡Magnífico!"...

Aunque yo no uso esa palabra, tengo entendido que sería más como "wow!". No sé si se puede decir que "wow" y "that's cool" tienen significados similares..

No creo, porque se usa como adjetivo más que como interjección. "Wow" sería más bien "vaya".

una casa guay = una casa bien padre = una casa posta

The matter with "cool" is it being many things together

In Buenos Aires -I can't speak for the teenagers-:

posta (super)
piola (ingenious, modern, fashion, practical, smart)
de la rep*** madre (smashing)
