Apple revealed a language translation feature for the upcoming AirPods 3 Pro
earbuds at today's iPhone event. Here's some good news for those who don't
want to shell out $249 for some new and shiny in-ear headphones. The tool is
also coming to the AirPods 4 with ANC and AirPods Pro 2 models. This requires
the latest firmware and an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone running iOS 26
and later.

For the uninitiated, Live Translation is exactly what it sounds like. The
software translates languages in real-time while wearing the earbuds. This
allows for something resembling natural conversation when interacting with a
person who speaks another language.

This feature will be available in English, French, German, Portuguese and
Spanish at launch, with more languages coming by the end of the year. These
include Italian, Japanese, Korean and simplified Chinese.

As for the AirPods Pro 3 earbuds, they cost $249 and are available to
preorder right now. These new earbuds include a heart rate monitor, improved
ANC, better battery life and the ability to play spatial audio.
