"One exciting feature that Apple touted at its iPhone 17 event on Sept. 9 was live translation for the new AirPods Pro 3. With this skill, you can hear words in another language translated into your own native tongue directly through your AirPods. If the other person also has the right AirPods and a compatible iPhone, you can both carry on a conversation hands-free. Otherwise, your own words pop up on your iPhone, translated into the other language for the other person to see and hear."

Since my wife and I like to travel abroad a couple of times a year, I'm looking forward to trying out Live Translation the next time we're in a foreign country. But for this to work, I have to meet a few requirements."
"I need an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence. I've got an iPhone 16 Pro. Check. I'll need to be running iOS 26. With the new OS set to arrive next Monday, I'll soon be able to upgrade my phone. Check. I assume I need the new AirPods Pro 3, as Apple appeared to indicate. I do plan to buy them, so that works out. Check."
Live Translation lets users hear translated speech through supported AirPods and can enable two-way hands-free conversations when both people have compatible AirPods and iPhones. If only one person has compatible AirPods, the speaker's words appear on the listener's iPhone translated into the other language. The feature requires iOS 26 and an iPhone with Apple Intelligence. Compatible AirPods include AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2 with the latest firmware, and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. Full functionality depends on firmware updates and pairing with a supported iPhone.
