63. Because of the use of the mother tongue in the administration of the sacraments and sacramentals can often be of considerable help to the people, this use is to be extended according to the following norms:
\na) The vernacular language may be used in administering the sacraments and sacramentals, according to the norm of Art. 36.
\nb) In harmony with the new edition of the Roman Ritual, particular rituals shall be prepared without delay by the competent territorial ecclesiastical authority mentioned in Art. 22, 2, of this Constitution. These rituals, which are to be adapted, also as regards the language employed, to the needs of the different regions, are to be reviewed by the Apostolic See and then introduced into the regions for which they have been prepared. But in drawing up these rituals or particular collections of rites, the instructions prefixed to the individual rites the Roman Ritual, whether they be pastoral and rubrical or whether they have special social import, shall not be omitted.<\/p>\n

63. Cum haud raro in administratione Sacramentorum et Sacramentalium valde utilis esse possit apud populum linguae vernaculae usurpatio, amplior locus huic tribuatur, iuxta normas quae sequuntur:<\/strong> Slavishly literal translation:<\/p>\n Since by no means rarely the making use of vernacular language among the people could be exceedingly useful in the administration of the Sacraments and Sacramentals, a more ample place is to be given to it, according to the norms that follow:<\/p>\n a) In the administration of the Sacraments and of the Sacramentals vernacular language can be used according to the norm found in article 36; Following the general permission to extend the use of vernacular languages in Roman Catholic worship found in SC 36, we have already seen its application to the celebration of Mass in SC 54. Here the Council Fathers extend the use of the vernacular in the administration of the other Sacraments and Sacramentals. As in SC 36, the responsibility for overseeing vernacular editions of ritual books for celebrating the Sacraments and Sacramentals is given to territorial bishops\u2019 conferences, with the Apostolic See making sure that the processes by which these rituals are produced and decreed normative are properly followed. It is interesting to compare the parallel phrase in SC 36 \u00a73 (\u201cactis ab Apostolica Sede probatis seu confimatis\u201d \/ \u201cacts\/deeds tested\/approved or confirmed by the Apostolic See\u201d) with the phrase here (\u201cactis ab Apostolica Sede recognitis\u201d \/ \u201cacts\/deeds reviewed\/examined by the Apostolic See\u201d).
