Why is the Catholic Mass changing?

When Vatican II allowed the Mass to be said in the vernacular the bishops translating the text of the Mass from Latin to English took a very casual approach to the translation. They did not translate the Mass word for word and paraphrased much of it so much of the original meaning and intent was lost. The new translation being introduced on the first Sunday of Latin in 2011 actually returns the English speaking Church back to the original English translation used back in the mid to late 1960s and more closely follows the Latin of the Tridentine Mass.
