English term or phrase:"his word was as sure as the sun comin' up"
Queridos colegas:
Estoy trabajando con la biografía de un personaje histórico y aparece esta expresión: "his word was as sure as the sun comin'up". ¿Cuál es su equivalente en español?
Explanation: En castellano, la expresión equivale a "dar la palabra de honor" (te doy mi palabra de honor de que esto es así, por ej.). La traducciones que aluden a la salida del sol no se entienden en nuestra cultura, es decir, se entienden literalmente, pero no significan nada.

Sí, estoy de acuerdo contigo. Gracias por tu sugerencia. Andrea
The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
