I think its strange the way in turkish you say alo when answering the phone but merhaba or selam in person. This is weird I think.
And the website is true hello has a deeper meaning also depending on who you say it to like to some young turkish men - helloooooooo  or to my friends - hi

Hello is often not the first term to greet someone, it is normally "good morning" or "good afternoon" (formally) I always say hello on the phone at home but at work good morning or good afternoon. If I see friends I might say hi how are you, or long time no see. The more you think about it, really how often do you say "hello"?? What a puzzle

Yes I would like to know how to say hello in all languages because I hate language to be a barrier in communicating. I say hello to everyone in the street sometimes they think I'm weird but I don't mind

As long as you mean it, it is nice
Here, in most of the cities/towns in United States, everybody says "hello", "How are you doing?†to each other even to complete strangers.
I once experiment with this habit and replied one of the "Hello,How are you doing?" kind of approach with "Not good at all, it was a bad day ...â€
She was stoned
She couldn’t reply or comment on my answer. I do not blame her since she didn't know anything about me. And if you think about it, how could one respond to such an answer from a complete stranger.
But anyway, it is a good habit.

Yes, that's right we do that here.It is very good custom to say Hello even to strangers and give them a smile. Some people think it is not genuine but I don't think so.
I had same experience 20 years ago and since that time the answer to the stranger's Hello is always positive and with huge smile like this
