Mass is not and never was intended as a Sunday school. That’s what catechism is for. Mass is a sacrifice of God to the faithful. It’s the crucifixion, not the sermon on the mount.

A catechized Catholic knows the meaning and purpose of various parts of the liturgy (Santus, Gloria etc.) and doesn’t need any translation. If however translation is important, it’s all right there in the missal.

The homily (i.e “sermon”) is in native language.

Jesus only died once for sin.

“ 12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.”
Hebrews 9:12

There’s no need for a Mass of any kind.

Jesus said “It is finished”.
