"Bien sûr que tu en es capable" - est mieux.

Hehe! nija88, vous êtes sur la page de la version anglaise!
Votre suggestion figure dans les commentaires ajoutés par la traductrice vers le français, qui plus est.

In Danish it's "you" singular.

If I understand the Danish source text right (?), this is more about how she/he is as a person. "You are good enough."

I thought that "capable" means that one is capable to DO something?

Hi Pia. You're right when you say it's about a person.
This sentence is quite weird and difficult to translate. If you have a look in a dictionary, you'll find your translation. But here I agree with Minny. The meaning is something like 'you're able to do something" but on the other hand yours "you're good enough" could work to. I'd suggest, that one of the sentences should be written
in the comment field.
Thanks for your input. I hadn't thought to much about it.

If you think that the sentence "Of course, you're capable!" is not good English, then I would go for Aydin1's translation: "Of course you can!".

I'd prefer: "Of course you can!..."

Thanks everyone,
I've placed the options in the remarks. I think that solves the problem
