IN English , please?

One thing doesn´t cancel the other ????

This means that you can do both things, the fact that you do one, doesn´t prevent you from doing the other thing too.

Often said with ",too" at the end.

I thought it was you can´t have the cake and eat it.We use both phrases.

Another translation option:
(Doing) one thing doesn't rule out (doing) another.
