"Apple will have you feeling like Commander Shepard from Mass Effect with the new AirPods Pro 3, because they sport a feature called Live Translation. The company states that headphone users will hear languages like French and Spanish translated to English automatically. There is even the option to respond to someone without the headphones utilizing your iPhone, as it will transcribe your speech on screen to the other person's language."
"Apple will release the AirPods Pro 3 on September 19 for $249. To start, Apple's upcoming earbuds--releasing September 19 for $249--will support English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish with Live Translation. By the end of 2025, the iPhone maker states that Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (simplified) will join that list. Keep in mind that AirPods Pro 3 aren't the first auto-translating earbuds. Google Pixel Buds offer similar functionality, as do select Samsung headphones."
"Meanwhile, there isn't much known about Mass Effect 5, the next game in the sci-fi series. There is also a Mass Effect TV show in the works at Amazon MGM Studios. In June, a report stated that Doug Jung had been brought on as showrunner, after serving in the same role for the Apple TV+ series Chief of War. Jung also was a writer for Netflix's Mindhunter and co-wrote the Star Trek Beyond screenplay."
AirPods Pro 3 include a Live Translation feature that automatically translates spoken French and Spanish into English and can transcribe user replies on the iPhone into the other person's language. The earbuds launch September 19 for $249 and initially support English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish, with Italian, Japanese, Korean, and simplified Chinese promised by the end of 2025. Google Pixel Buds and select Samsung headphones already offer similar auto-translation features. The Live Translation draws comparisons to Mass Effect's in-universe translation technology. Mass Effect 5 remains largely unknown, while an Amazon MGM TV adaptation with Doug Jung as showrunner is in development.
