I really don't think this will happen, do you? No. There will be a document or two and a request to offer the Latin Mass more universally, and that will be it.
The Church is not going back to a Latin liturgy.

Well, it's happening as we type. I don't think Rome will outright abolish the N.O. as they did with the Tridentine 30-40 years ago. That upset everyone too much. This time I believe they will restore the Traditional Mass, encourage its use, and perhaps phase out the N.O. over time, either naturally or by design. It all depends on what a person is used to. If children grow up with the Tridentine it will be the normative Mass for them. Likewise, I grew up with the N.O., but I'm anxious to return to Traditional forms of liturgy. For me, the Latin is only a small part. I simply like the structure of the Traditional Mass better. I would guess that language-wise the Tridentine will not be entirely Latin, just the prayers of the Mass. It wouldn't be practical otherwise.
Time will tell.
