Sometimes it means "yes" like it does in Polish (as in "yes, so it is").– bipllOct 21, 2016 at 20:11

Roughly speaking it's translated as so (as it is mentioned in other answer here) or this/that way:
- Со мной никто так не будет обращаться - Nobody will treat me that way.
- [нужно делать] вот так! - [one should do it] this way!
- Так вот надо использовать топор - Here's how it is supposed to use an axe.
- Вот так я стал моряком - this is how I became a sailor.
i'm sure there's translation of the word in the Ru-En dictionary, one of which is so
Меня так не зoвут - They don't call me so
Вот так - Like so
Так вот - So

In English we would not say " They don't call me so". Translation websites offer these alternate versions, which don't look too bad: "That is not my name." "I am not called that."– SamMar 5, 2022 at 14:38
