I commented previously on how the English and German versions of his Wednesday talks on the Fathers of the Church were shorter than the Italian versions. I suspect he gives the talks in Italian and then summarizes them extemporaneously in the other languages.
Sandro Magister has just published English translations of the long versions on his blog, www.chiesa. The first five talks are from the Vatican web site and the last two were translated by www.chiesa.
