It has been my experience, that in weekday low masses, when no sermon is given the epistle and gospel are not re-read in the vernacular. However, I have always heard them re-read in the vernacular at every Sunday mass, and every other Solemn Feast day, and any other day when a sermon is given.

I guess I cannot say what is the "general thing" in the US, or anywhere else, because my experience is limited. I may have been making an error by assuming my experience is general. And, I have no memory of the TLM before the council - I was born after it closed. =D

Local Canon Law in Philadelphia required that the Epistle and Gospel be read, and a homily be preached, in the language of the people of the parish at every Sunday Mass.
