   From a seminarian:

   As a seminarian who appreciates both the Extraordinary and Ordinary Forms of the Latin Rite, I am greatly anticipating the CORRECTED translation of the Missal. However, if it indeed proves to be "inadequate" (a conclusion I would reach after much study of the translation, of course), I would substitute as much Latin as was needed to fully express the propers of the mass.

   From a seminarian:

   I am a minor seminarian, and I already was planning on celebrating
   both the Extraodinary and Ordinary forms of the Roman Rite in Latin
   whenever possible (if, God willing, I am ordained one day).

   However, if the new translation turns out to be unsatisfactory, I will
   try to put more Latin into English Masses as well. I already know of
   at least one priest who does the Roman Canon in Latin.

   From a priest:

   If the new translation proves to be a dud then I shall simply use
   Latin exclusively (when celebrating the OF) whilst printing out the
   Propers for use by the congregation and following the example of the
   SSPX in St Nicolas de Chardonet read a proper translation of the
   readings before the daily homily (a short homily on the Saint/Readings
   of the day is customery in certain parts of England).
