There is a little point in doing anything about it.
This sentence is completely unclear to me. I’ve been trying to translate it, but it is nonsense in my native language. Could you explain the meaning of the sentence in another way?

I think it should be:
There is little point in doing anything about it.
Here little point meaning is like little reason or not a lot of reason, as in:
There is not a lot of reason in doing anything about it.
It is between no reason (not doing something) and good reason (possibly doing something).
A "reason" is the case you would make to do something, in the context of this sentence.
