Our Changing Liturgy
A new translation of the Mass has been prepared for the English-speaking world. The current translation was prepared in the late 1960s after the Second Vatican Council. This means that many of the texts said and sung by the people at every Mass will be different. One example would be the Gloria which by following the Latin text more closely is expanded. The texts of the priest, such as the Collects and the Eucharistic Prayers, have also been re-translated.
You can read more on the Liturgy Office website.
