Question about Russian saying: Волков бояться - в лес не ходить.
What does this saying mean? It seems to me like it means: "If you are afraid of wolves, don't go into the forest."
But I also read that it could mean something like: "Even if what you have to do is hard, you must complete it."
спасибо большое!

It means 1) if you are afraid of difficulties you should not even start 2) if you want to gain a success you should take the risk
= nothing ventured, nothing gained
= grasp the nettle

Если бояться трудностей или опасных последствий, то не стоит и начинать какое-либо дело, нужно действовать смело.
Похожее значение будут иметь следующие устойчивые выражения:
1 Кто не рискует, тот не пьет шампанское
2.Смелость города берет

The both versions are correct. If you don't want (or can't) to do smth you can say: "Волков бояться...". But if you want to do smth you say: "Oh, come on, I'll do it!!! Волков бояться..."

Everytime someone asks a question in Russian or in Arabic, I feel like I have started to read it in English and then in a code.
