Can you speak more than one language?
I do, ironically German. There are certain words that are implied into any translation to get a full sense of what is being said in the original. To do otherwise will result in gibberish, much like the vulgate.
Besides, this part of his translation can be traced back to the influence of the church fathers, before faith alone was dropped by the Roman Catholic church.

That rationalization was particularly juicy.

More importantly, if your claim is true, then why haven't any Protestant Bibles added it back? I looked at KJV, NKJV, NIV and Darby, NONE of them had the word alone in that verse.

Here’s a German translation (Elberfelder, I think), that manages to make sense without adding words:
Rom 3:28 Denn wir urteilen, daß ein Mensch durch Glauben gerechtfertigt wird, ohne Gesetzeswerke.
