For a late medieval German translation I can refer you to:
BUIJSSEN Gerard Harrie
Durandus' Rationale in spa"tmittelhochdeutscher U"ber-
setzung, nach der Handschrift CVP 2765, Assen: van
van Gorcum, 1966-83 (= Studia theodisca 6, 13, 15, 16),
4 vols.
For modern translations or partial translations I have:
BARTHE/LE/MY Charles
Rational ou manuel des divins offices de Guillaume
Durand, e/ve^que de Mende au treizie\me sie\cle, ou
raisons mystiques et historiques de la liturgie catho-
lique, trad. pour la premie\re fois du latin en
franc,ais par Charles Barthe/le/my, pre/ce/de/ d'une
notice historique sur la vie et sur les e/crits de
Durand de Mende; suivi d'une bibliographie chronologi-
que des principaux ouvrages qui traitent de la liturgie
catholique..., Paris: Vive\s, 1854.
NEALE/WEBB
The symbolism of churches and church ornaments. A
translation of the first book of the Rationale divinorum
officiorum written by William Durandus, with an introduc-
tory essay, notes, and illustrations, by John Mason Neale
and Benjamin Webb, Leeds: T. W. Green, 1843, cxxv+252 pp.;
also London: Gibbingings, 1906, cxxvii+195 pp.
PASSMORE T. H.
Durandus on the sacred vestments: An English rendering
of the third book of the Rationale divinorum officiorum
of Durandus, Bishop of Mende, A.D. 1287, with notes,
London: Thomas Baker, 1899(?), xxix+188 pp.
Since the many, many early prints of the _Rationale_ where often 'emended'
by their editors or interpolated with other materials, I would not use any
translation without checking its basis in the textual tradition. A critical
edition has been started recently (but I myself have not yet seen it and
don't believe that is already complete) by A. Davril and T. M. Thibodeau,
_Guillelmi Duranti Rationale divinorum officiorum_, Turnhout: Brepols,
1995-? (= Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Medievalis, 140)
