Despite what you might think from some translations, it shouldn't be too hard. I bet such transaltion already exist, anyway.

The translation in the 1962 missal, for one.

My preference (if the pope asks me) is for a Tridentine in the vernacular but with the Latin retained for short responses.

I'd like to see a few of those "good news" missalette companies put out to pasture.

They do exist. I seem to be one of the few people who remembers this (and I'm not a million years old), but in the late 50s-60's there was an English translation of the Tridentine rite that was occasionally used in certain parishes, with special permission, of course. It was extremely accurate and extremely beautiful.

Many people assumed that the "Mass in the vernacular" was simply going to be the Tridentine rite, translated to the local language, with perhaps a few standard parts kept in Latin. What a surprise when it turned out to be a whole new rite that bore only a passing resemblance to the old Roman rite...

A general indult, not depending on the permission of the bishop, would be the best thing that could possibly happen to the Church right now.

Here in Gainesville, FL, my sister and some friends are trying to start a chapter of Una Voce. It would be nice to be able to do this and then not have to fight with the local ordinary to get him to let us have an occasional Mass (usually at a strange hour and in some out-of-the-way location).
