Take all the credit for
in italian it is indeed "saviour of the nation", in French it could be" le sauveur de la patrie". But in English I prefer "we are not going to take all the credit for...".

Thanks. People want me only for translations into Hebrew. Most of my Kudoz points are Italian > English, followed by Spanish >English. French> English comes next and Hebrew > English is last (French is my second mother tongue and Hebrew is the first!!).
