Là où il y a de la gêne il n'y a pas de plaisir.

@Yorick and BD
I agree as well. Just had a look at this person's Kudoz track record:
Total questions he's asked : 97
Total questions he's answered : 0
I'll say no more.

Agree!

Without the elementary politeness of a request for help and without the professionally necessary context I do not think proz com subscribers should even attempt to offer a Translation.

Robert & Collins suggère une traduction...

Since there is no input from Asker at all (as usual), can we assume this is a homework or test question?

As a literal translation out of context, Google Translate's version is probably no worse than any other:

"where there is discomfort there is no fun"

from Oxford:
"it's a pity to spoil somebody's pleasure".

Quite different again.

This is really to support what Nikki has said. It's pretty clear that this saying is very context-sensitive, and unless you do it more or less literally, which produces something an English speaker is not likely to say in real life, a general-purpose translation that would actually be used in a given instance is more or less impossible to provide in the abstract.

What context do you have in which this expression is being used. Context is all and a number of solutions are possible, but stabs in the dark are less helpful to you. The more context, the merrier and the more liekly you are to get appropriate suggestions. ;-)

Do you want to run your attempts by us or is there a particular word that's giving you a hard time?
