Francis Removes Latin as Normative Novus Ordo Language

Francis' Liturgy Congregation issued the decree “Postquam Summus Pontifex” (October 22) which contains new regulations for the translation of liturgical books.
Most of the long text deals with standard matters. A revolutionary move is contained in Number 54 which says that Latin is no longer required for a normative typical edition of liturgical books.
The language seems to be deliberately incomprehensible, “Having obtained recognitio by decree of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments the texts of the Proper, in Latin or in another language, are to be considered typical.”
However, in the Novus Ordo it doesn't matter whether a text has a "recognitio" or not as every priest does what he wants anyway.
The decree allows adaptions ("inculturation") including texts drawn up solely in the vernacular.
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
