From what I looked up it means something like dude or mate. It's also used when expressing suprise? If native speaker has better insight I'd appreciate it.

The English "Yo" is a really good translation. You can use it to express surprise ("Alter! Wtf!" - "Yo! Wtf!") or to address someone ("Alter, was geht?" - "Yo, whats up?").

"Yo" really is the best translation I can think of.
