HOLLIS 'Amalarii episcopi opera liturgica omnia' returns two records, Jean Michel Hanssens' three-volume edition (Studi e testi 138-140, Vatican, 1948-50), catalogued Latin, whose contents list 't.1. Introductio. Opera minora. t.2. Liber officialis. t.3. Liber de ordine. Antiphonarii. Eclogae de ordine romano. Appendix tomi I et II. Indices' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Amalarii%20episcopi%20opera%20liturgica%20omnia&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 - the minor liturgical works with no translation. A second query, 'Amalarius On the liturgy', shows the only English translation of Amalarius: 'On the Liturgy', Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library 35-36 (Harvard, 2014), with Eric Knibbs as '[editor, translator]', whose contents are 'volume I. Books 1-2; volume II. Books 3-4' - i.e. the Liber officialis only, not the Eclogae or the Liber de ordine antiphonarii (https://hollis.harvard.edu/permalink/f/1s5nto6/alma990140892600203941). The Eclogae de ordine romano and the Liber de ordine antiphonarii are therefore untranslated, even though the main work now has a complete English version.
Amalarius' shorter works are where his reading of the Roman stational liturgy is set out and where the Frankish clergy were told how to imitate it; the Eclogae are a source for the ordines themselves as well as for Carolingian liturgical allegory. Because DOML translated only the Liber officialis, English readers get Amalarius the allegorist and never the minor works, an asymmetry that distorts the standard English account of the Carolingian liturgy.
