Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church first translated The Bible into Latin in the first couple centuries, later the Pope commissioned Jerome to make a definitive translation which came to be known as the Vulgate, which was the Church's official Bible from then (fourth century) until today. The first translations into German were made in the 9th century, and there were many translations in the 13th and 14th centuries.

from Wikipedia:

In total, there were at least eighteen complete German Bible editions, ninety editions in the vernacular of the Gospels and the readings of the Sundays and Holy Days, and some fourteen German Psalters by the time Luther first published his own New Testament translation

What Scriptures did the Catholic Church change in the Bible?

Roman Catholic AnswerYou are operating with a mistaken assumption. The Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church decided which books were canonical (included in the Bible), and the Catholic Church has conserved the Bible through the centuries. The only ones who changed any Scriptures in the Bible are the protestants, who, after fifteen centuries of a Bible preserved by the Catholic Church came along and threw books out of the Bible, and changed the meanings of books they would not throw out.
