The Translation of the Revised Roman Missal - Diocese of Paterson

21 21. EEspecially i ll in i the th translations t l ti intended i t d d for f
peoples recently brought to the Christian Faith,
fidelity and exactness with respect to the original
texts may themselves sometimes require that
words already in current usage be employed in
new ways, that new words or expressions be
coined, that terms in the original text be
transliterated or adapted to the pronunciation of
the vernacular language, or that figures of speech
be used which convey in an integral manner the
content of the Latin expression even while being
verbally or syntactically different from it. Such
measures, especially those of greater moment, are
to be submitted to the discussion of all the
Bishops involved before being inserted into the
definitive draft. In particular, caution should be
exercised in introducing words drawn from non- non
Christian religions.
