Dear Sri Bhashyam,

Swamy Desikan has written about 120 works:

the 28 Desikan sthOthrams in Sanskrit and Tamil prabandhams are tralsated in 
simple Tamil and also commented by Sri U Ve Vanghipuram Navaneetham Sri 
Ramadesikachariar Swamy (who is Paramapadha vaasi now).

His translation is very simple and sweet. The Lifco has publised the same.

Swamy also has written the vyAkhyAnams for Swamy Desikan's Srimath 
Rahasyathraya Saram, ChillaRai Rahasyams (1, 2 and 3) etc. asmadHAchAryan 
Srimath ParavakkOttai Andavan has been publishing the same from the 
Ashramam; They need to be studied at the feet of Acharya.

Sri UttamUr Swamy has written exhaustive commentaries on Swamy Desikan's 
Padhuka Sahasram; Rahasyathraya Saram, etc.. to mention few.

Swamy desikan's other great works like Tattva muktha kalapam, SathadUshaNi, 
Paramatha Bhangam, etc. are written (not as commentaries; but based on them) 
as books in English by Sri SMS Chari, namely Fundamentals of 
VisishtAdvaitha, Advaita and VisishtAdvaitha etc..

Parapadha vaasi Sri Seva Swamy has written also many translations for Swamy 
desikan's sthOthrams. Sri MS Hari of Singaproe is writing Tamil verses in 
Nerisai veNpA for all Swamy desikan's sthOthras(about 75% completed)
Just from my meory. There should be many and much mroe. I aplogize for 
having missed some Great important ones.
Regards
Namo Narayana
