Apparently the Argentine equivalent is something like “take your hat off, you’re not in this photo”

(Ireland) Wind yer neck in
In Taiwan it's “關你屁事“
Which is mildly translated to "Care about your fart situation"
This is pretty derogatory. I wouldn't use it unless it's with your friends messing around.

Qué te importa. Come torta. Con tu hermana la gordota.
Why is it important to you, eat cake. Like your fat sister.
English also has, "stay in your lane."
I always liked "where's your business?"
I don't talk much outside of English-speaking communities, but I can say with confidence that I've never heard that.
Which one?
The one that OP asked to "confirm".
German: That's not your beer./ That concerns you like damp dirt./ That can walk by your ass.

I'm from Chile and I have never heard of that one. But a lot of: y a voh, ¿quien te movió la jaula, culiao?
Como nunca hay escuchao "y quién te dió velas en este entierro?"
Te juro que no, pero si el "y a voh, quien te dio ficha?"
Mexico very similar to chile : "no tienes vela en el entierro".. English: you do t have a candle in this burial".
"Quien te dió vela en este entierro?", en Argentina. Se puede asumir que es algo de hispanoamerica al menos. Also, maybe it's better to translate it like "you don't have a candle in this funeral" maybe? I don't know if english speaking people hold a vigil for the dead like we do. Burial while is a more direct translation, I don't think it really represents the spirit of the adage.
Similar to another English idiom: You don't have a dog in this fight.
It's funny that the Dutch version is pretty close to what the English one should be: bemoei je met je eigen zaken, literally mind your own business.

As an Arabic speaker I have never heard of number 3, though Arabic is more like forty languages in a trench coat so that's not saying much.
Am Arab, can vouch that I’ve never heard of it.
I was surprised "Arabic" was this loosely defined when "Chilean Spanish" was very specifically defined immediately following

It has so much in common with English
Explanation for the french one : onion is an old slang for anus. So "mind your own onions" is an old-fashioned way to say "mind your own ass"
Except it's plural, and I only have 1 anus.
Hey, who am I to judge the two-anus person that invented that expression
