Billh Jul 13, 2014:
Tania I see you have changed causal to casual in your disagree. But do you mean to casual or too casual. To casual makes absolutely no linguistic sense here.
Tania Mingramm Jul 13, 2014:
It´s a Diploma Ceremony, and it´s a serious language used like those in government documents
lorenab23 Jul 13, 2014:
@ Bill You should post it as an answer. All the other answers have missed the all important "EN"
Rendir en solemne acto la protesta.
Billh Jul 12, 2014:
It means After formally promising today to honor the university in all circumstances...
Billh Jul 12, 2014:
Please get your question straight to avoid... wasting out time. I was just going to ask whether you had missed out 'en' in the original text quoted and then I saw that you have.

After formally promising today ...SEE BELOW

... to honor the university in all circumstances...

OR

After promising to honor the university in all circumstances at a formal ceremony held today......


The problem is that the Asker forgot to include the 'en' in the main body of the quote.

Having performed this ceremony today,

I think the verb 'having' is the best way to introduce a sentential modifier like this one. Also, we don't have enough context to say for sure, but I think the ceremony was probably not 'solemn', which is a very particular word in English!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Billh : The 'protesta' was 'rendido' at the act/ceremony etc. Having refers to 'rendido'.
3 hrs
agree Tania Mingramm : It sounds like a graduate ceremony and it is solemn (respectable) look for solemn in dictionary, protesta in spanish is like saying it outlouad and for everyone to witness rendido is to give out that protesta

This is the question READ and understand the context :
Spanish term or phrase: despues de haber rendido en solemne acto celebrado el día de hoy En un titulo universitario : después de haber rendido solemne acto celebrado el día de hoy,la la protesta de honrar en toda circunstancia a la universidad. END see the whole?
My answer was After having rendered solemn ceremony today the adjective goes there!
Its an official act , this is serious , the way they say it is intended to be long not short, is like a declaration of the events. I am new here but I can feel the vibes.

Government ceremonies[edit]
Sometimes, a ceremony may only be performed by a person with certain authority. For example, the opening of the United Kingdom Parliament is presided over by the Sovereign (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II). A captain or a higher-ranked naval officer usually supervises the naming and launching of a warship. A wedding is performed by a priest or a Civil Celebrant, as in Australia. The President of the United States is customarily sworn in by the Chief Justice of the United States, and the British sovereign is always crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

In this context ªi am sure is the word ceremony that needs to be used see the surrounding of the event Ceremonies may have a physical display or theatrical component: dance, a procession, oficial event A declaratory verbal pronouncement may explain or cap the occasion, for instance:
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
I swear to serve and defend the nation ...
I declare open the games of ...
I/We dedicate this ... ... to ...
Both physical and verbal components of a ceremony may become part of a liturgy.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Billh : http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=protesta// I'm not attacking you, I don't think you understand the English meaning of protest. This is not a protest in any English sense of the word.// And in English you don't render a ceremony - the English is simply wrong

disagree Billh : You do not render a ceremony in English. I can recommend some good English dictionaries to help you if you wish.// What is being 'rendido' here is the 'protesta' NOT the acta.
