A:
Do you mean why isn't there a negation?
The Russian translation on Google translate to English says - He does not seem to need help.
This is probably closer to the exact translation but I don't know Russian.
'He seems to need little help' is using 'little' in an idiomatic form that can mean 'no'.
Examples:
- He isn't nice. He will give you little help.
- The children gave me little rest.

Q:
I am studying 'partial negation' and 'total negation". But, there are so many parts confusing me.
First of all, the book says if the words like all, both, every which indicate the whole are used with 'not', then it comes to mean the partial negation. But, examples such as 'Everyone didn't welcome him.' and 'Everyone cannot be a poet.' means total negation as far as I know.
Secondly, some people say if 'not' is followed by the quantifiers 'all, every, both', it means 'total negation'.
And vice versa, if 'not' appears before the quantifiers, then it means 'partial negation.
Is there anyone who can tell me about these exactly???

A:
I cannot be sure on the rules here, but I know "Everyone didn't welcome him" is ambiguous and does not sound natural. It honestly could be interpreted as partial or total, depending on how it is used. Quite confusing for even a native speaker. Instead, we might say, "Not everyone welcomed him" for partial negation and "No one welcomed him" for total negation.
For simplification, I recommend for partial negation:
Not + every/all
"Not all learners can master a new language."
"Not everyone will understand."
Instead of not + both, use "Only one"
"Only one of us will win"
For total negation:
Instead of every + not, use "none" or "no one"
"No one has purple skin."
Instead of both + not, use "neither"
"Neither team wanted to lose."
Instead of all + not, use none

Q:
How can I make a double negation in English?

You should avoid double negatives. Just use single negatives. But it's acceptable to use them informally. Oxford Dictionaries -page to clarify : https://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2012/02/grammar-myths-3/
Q:

Sadly the above user is incorrect in #1 and #2. It's "I didn't use to". What he said with "don't" doesn't make sense.
