"Rendition"

[edit]

The more common use of the word "rendition" in the English language, is connected to musical performance, art, drawing and so on. Although judicially, the term is used to denote "handing over" of property or prisioners for example, the nuances can be lost in translation when applying the original source meaning of certain words common in various languages, but with at least, slightly different meanings in coloquial usages. In this case, I feel the literal translation from Portuguese "render or rendeu" is in itself as inedequate as if the Portuguese said for example; "the singer 'surrendered' a magnificent performance tonight" or "this artist 'surrendered' a unique composition". I believe, the use for example of something to this effect; "Marcelo Caetano surrendered" control of the Portuguese government to Gen. de Spínola, etc etc... would better place the correct meaning of the actual historical event in the mind of the Anglo/Saxon reader.
