"There is nothing to talk about"
"There is nothing to discuss"
How to translate these two sentences?
For the first one,
Il n'y a rien à parler.
shouldn't work because "parler" needs to be followed by "de". So one might consider
Il n'y a rien duquel on doit parler.
but this doesn't quite mean the same thing.
For the second one,
Il n'y a rien à discuter.
might not work because "discuter" is also usually followed by "de".
If your sentence was "There is nothing to say" I would translate into
Il n'y a rien à dire
But you asked for "talk about" which should be translated into "discuter de".
But the sentence is about not "talk about" so, no discussion => no need to talk => rien à dire.
So, if we know what we are talking about, I would use :
Il n'y a rien à en dire.
We use "en" to express this is true only about a particular subject.
or if it's "There is nothing to talk about blahblah"
Il n'y a rien à dire à propos de ...
Also, it really depends on the situation.
Litteraly, a traduction for your two sentence will be the answer of Yohan, it's a factual answer. But you may need to precise about what.
Il n'y a rien à dire là dessus. => There is nothing to say on this topic.
If you want to close the discussion, you can also say
Il n'y a rien à ajouter, la discussion est close.
If you want to signify someone you have nothing to discuss with him. (Can be rude)
Nous n'avons rien à nous dire. => We have nothing to discuss/talk about.
But if you need an accurate answer, you should add the context for each phrase.
Il n'y a rien duquel on doit parler
sounds wrong, I think it should be
Il n'y a rien dont on doit parler
(not sure about the actual grammar rule here, feel free to edit)
which could work, with a slight difference: there may be something to say, but it's not worth being said.
The following suggestions are far from literal translations and lack the finality expressed in the blunt declarations you seek to translate, but in the right context I think you could use “A quoi bon” (from Reverso) to convey a similar message (i.e., that a discussion will serve no purpose) by instead “asking” (first in English):
“What’s the point/use/good/ of [further] discussion/discussing [it]///talking about it”,
which could lead in French to:
“A quoi bon [en] discuter? (“… cela voudrait dire que ce que l'on vise au travers de la discussion, l'idéal rêvé, n'est pas réalisable, que l'idéal de discussion qu'on s'efforçait de construire n'est pas atteignable.” from Devoir de philosophie)
and
A quoi bon en parler? (usage example from Soyez bienveillant avec vous-même ! Libérez vos émotions! by Bertrand CANAVY where the subject (breathing) is deemed to be so natural and banal that we don’t think about it or study it, so “A quoi bon en parler”?
(Here’s a YouTube video where you can hear/see Emmanuel Moire’s three entertaining uses of “A quoi bon” (with “résister”, “hésiter”, and “s'éviter”) in his very nice song Adulte & Sexy.)
Usually this implies a topic, such as in "There is nothing to talk about this book". In French, we'd prefer to explicitly say what is the topic:
Il n'y a rien à dire sur ce livre.
"Il n'y a rien à dire" feels rather weak in this context. Maybe "Il n'y a rien à en dire", just like @YohannV. said is acceptable, but really feels weak. Usually to insist that there is nothing to talk about, you name that thing. It can even be done like this: "Ce livre, il n'y a rien à en dire."
People who really want to be heard will even say out loud "Il n'y a rien à dire" before saying, very slightly toned down "sur ce livre". The subtlety here is perceptible for native French-speakers.
But as a rule and unless it's really personal (such as emotions), you name the context.
Il n'y a pas matière à discussion.
Il n'y a pas de matière à discussion.
This clearly means that the discussion will lead nowhere and it's a very strong indicator that unless a very fundamental change happens in the topic, this topic shouldn't be brought again. Both forms are accepted and the first might be preferred. Depending on the tone, it can be very polite or very firm.
