French term
On ne lâche rien!
It could also be used in a negociation where everything is discussed and nothing is given up too easily.

Non-PRO (2): writeaway, Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
Keep trying! / Keep going! / Keep at it!
Keep going!
Don't let up!
Otherwise, I suppose one coudl also say "Never let up!", which to my mind presupposes slightly less about the initial effort.
I see the French term as having something of the sense of "Now you've got started, don't stop!"
We don't give up!

: Yes, though deciding on the first person plural for the 'on' may not suit all circumstances.
