Fifth Instruction "For the Right Implementation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy of the Second Vatican Council"
This document provides the official guidelines for the translation of liturgical texts. Of great importance is the rejection of the equivalent language approach to translation that claims to preserve the meaning of the text in modern language and the affirmation of a more literal translation approach. This document is divided into the following sections:
Introduction
On the Choice of Vernacular Languages to Be Introduced into Liturgical Use
On the Translation of Liturgical Texts into Vernacular Languages
On the Preparation of Translations and the Establishment of Commissions
