"The sci-fi-worthy tool allows real-time communications between two people who don't speak the same language. Fans are comparing it to the 'Communicator' device from Star Trek, which allows direct contact between individuals on different spaceships. The technology - which requires a connected iPhone - is also reminiscent of the green 'Universal Translator' device from TV series Futurama. At launch, Live Translation is available in English - both British English and American English - as well as French, German, Spanish and Portuguese."
"If you're in a foreign country and need a translation, you'll need to simply tap the AirPods Pro 3 to activate the new tool. It converts someone speaking their native language (for example, Spanish) into English, which is relayed by Siri's voice into the ears. When Siri is speaking, active noise cancellation reduces the speaker's voice so that the bot's translation can be clearly heard."
AirPods Pro 3 start at $249/£219 and include Live Translation for real-time voice translations using a connected iPhone and Siri. Live Translation initially supports British and American English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese, with Italian, Japanese, Korean and simplified Chinese coming later. Users activate the feature by tapping the AirPods Pro 3. Spoken language is converted into English and played through Siri while active noise cancellation lowers the original speaker's voice for clarity. If both participants have AirPods Pro 3, two-way conversation is possible. Otherwise, the iPhone can display translated text for the other person to read. Pre-orders are open and retail availability begins September 19.
