"Introduced with iOS 26, the new Live Translation can translate another person's words into your own language and pipe them 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. If not, your own words will appear on your iPhone and be translated into the other language for the other person to see and hear."
"What you'll need: First, you need a compatible iPhone -- one that supports Apple Intelligence since Live Translation is an AI-based skill. That means an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, any iPhone 16, or any iPhone 17.

Live Translation on iOS 26 translates another person's speech into the user's preferred language and plays it through compatible AirPods, enabling hands-free bilingual conversations when both parties have supported devices. When the other person lacks compatible AirPods or iPhone, the user's speech appears on their iPhone and can be translated to be seen and heard by the other person. Initial language support includes English (UK and US), French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish, with Chinese (Mandarin Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, and Italian planned for later. Compatible hardware includes iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max, any iPhone 16 or 17, specific AirPods models, and iOS 26 is required.
