Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / hydraulic breakers
Italian term or phrase: Ovunque ci sia da demolire
This is a slogan for a firm which makes hydraulic breakers. The slogan has been either translated literally or transformed in several languages, so the French is "Démolir est notre métier. Partout.", the English is "Your demolition man, wherever you are", the German is "Wo immer es etwas zu demolieren gibt", the Spanish is "Demoler es nuestro trabajo. Donde quiera." and the Portuguese is "Demolir é a nossa profissão. Em toda parte."

Croatian translation:Trebate li nesto srusiti, mi smo tu!
Explanation:
This is not a literal translation but rather passing on the message from the slogan. Literally it means "if you have anything for demolition, we are here".

Anyway, it is more appropriate and suitable in Croatian.

Regards!
