Do not occupy yourself with others' problems.

I suggest:
"Do not burden yourself with the problems of others. Be content with your own."
content = villig til at lade sig nøje med

Don't carry around other's problems

Hi Minny, don't agree with you concerning "content".
"Satisfied is the right word for "tilfreds", but agree with "burden".
Still think it should be "with others' problems".

Hallo Gamine,

I vote for "content" in this context.

About "the problems of others" Maybe I am a little old fashion. I guess that both are right. :-))

What about:
"Do not carry other people's problems. Be satisfied with your own."?

It's fine for me. It conveys the meaning perfectly.
I agree. Thanks,Lilian.

You called me, Lene??

I agree with Lilians proposal, but I'm not a Danish expert, nor native Dane. I made a comment since I thought that "Slæb" has the same meaning as the Swedish "släpa" (to drag, haul??) Though.. after I had wrote that post I became a bit unsecure, I actually was about to delete it!! Even if people say our languages are so similare, I often find that your words have different meaning than ours. Thanks for the CC. anyway :X

Hi,
A good translation into German reads:" Belaste Dich nicht mit den Problemen andereI hope that this clarification is helpful? :-)

Hi Minny. Concerning your German sentence:
"Belaste Dich nicht mit den Problemen andere"

I'd have chosen the Danish words: bebyrde/belaste
which in English would have given i.e. "encumber"
or "carry". There are so many synonyms, so which one choose??????
I personally think that 'carry' suggested by Pias
and Lilian's final suggestion is ok. But I'm not a professional translator, I can only say what littlee I think.

Sure I called you,Pia. You made a very fine suggestion, so you shall be informed too.
Do agree with you. People always think we have the same languages but there are different words with different meanings. And I like it this way.

Kære Gamine og Pias, Ja, deri ligger udfordringerne. Og derfor finder jeg det også meget lærerigt og interessant. Tusind tak for jeres entusiastiske indsats! :-))
