specijalac special (police) officer

Explanation:

Wikipedia
Special police
- Croatia
In Croatia, Special Police serve as special operations forces trained primarily for anti-terrorism operations. Unlike many western SWAT teams, Croatian Special Police officers are full-time, professional operators with no secondary duties.
- Former Yugoslavia
The Special Police were a branch of the Regular Police who were used for restoring peace and stability if it had been heavily disturbed, counter-terrorism, countering violent groups, and repressing riots (especially in prisons). The Special Police also provided security and public peace, investigated and prevented organized crime, terrorism and other violent groups; protected state and private property; and helped and assisted civilians and other emergency forces in cases of emergency, natural disasters, civil unrest and armed conflicts.

Korana Lasić: Da, ali u pitanju se ne radi o ovom tipu specijalca nego o specijalistu za pse. Ovo što ste navela nema direktne veze sa terminom koji se traži. Osim sto oba zanimanja postoje pri specijalnoj jedinici, pa da li istoj ili dvije različite.

12 hrs

-> Svi pripadnici specijalne jedinice (SAJ) zovu se specijalci (a ne specijalisti), a ovaj specijalac je na radnom mestu vodiča službenih pasa. On je svakako na neki način i „specijalista“ za pse, ali to po meni nije smisao izvornog teksta.

disagree

Daryo: here it's the whole unit that is "special" - it's a "member of a Special Unit", not really a "special officer"

1 day 15 hrs

-> Ne razumem šta je tu sporno. To je „special (police) officer“ zato što je pripadnik „Special Unit“ – SAJ. A šta je to SAJ, može se naći čak i na Vikipediji i to na više jezika.

A K9 officer is a specialized law enforcement officer that works closely with trained police dogs.

A specialized officer jeste specialist.

Jedako tako:

Specijalac je naziv za svakog pripadnika neke specijalne jedinice. Specijalist je specijalac koji ima specijalisticki trening kao nadogradnju na trening specijalaca. Tako je u anglofonom svijetu. Izvorni tekst je takav da ne poznaje ove razliku, ali prijevod je namijenjen anglofonoj publici i engleski svakako pravi ovu razliku.

Presita sam ove smijurije koja je KudoZ

A ovo je posljednji primjer da se ne moze izmisljati iz glave nego postoje nacini kako se ovo prevodi, i ovo i sve drugo.

Example sentence(s):

Becoming a K-9 officer is a desirable career opportunity among law enforcement professionals.
A police dog handler has been treated in hospital after going missing while on duty following the deaths of two of his dogs that were left in a car.

Natasa Stankovic: Vaš prevod je OK za „vodič službenih pasa“ (kontekst), ali to se ne traži, već prevod samo za „specijalac“. „Specijalac“ ovde znači da pripada specijalnoj policijskoj jedinici, a ne da je specijalista (EN: specialist) za nešto ili u nečemu.

7 hrs

-> I radi se o specijalistu za pse pri specijalnoj jedinici. Kaže: Specijalac - vodič pasa i ide tačka. Čita se specijalac (povlaka) pa objašnjene koji. Sam izvorni tekst je problematičan. Specijalac može, ali ne mora bit i specijalist - kao npr. vodič pasa.

disagree

Daryo: in this specific text "Специјалац" = member of some "Special Forces", that also happens to be a "specialist" in dog handling, but the term to translate ("Специјалац") is about being member of some Special unit.

2 days 1 hr

-> 'Special forces' and special before unit shouldn't be capitalised in the middle of the sentence. Your and Milena's poor reading comprehension skills and inability to grasp what 'specijalac-vodic sluzbenih pasa' means are pitiful.
