After a delay, Apple has announced<\/a> that it’s bringing its AI-powered Live Translation<\/a> feature to the European Union in December. The expansion is notable, not only because Live Translation was a key selling point of the recently released AirPods Pro 3, but also because the company warned<\/a> in September that complying with the EU’s Digital Markets Act<\/a> could delay the feature.<\/p>\n

When Live Translation becomes available in the EU on AirPods Pro 3, Pro 2 and AirPods 4 with ANC<\/a> next month, the feature will automatically translate a speaker’s voice between English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional Mandarin), Japanese and Korean. Live Translation can also seamlessly translate between pairs of AirPods, intelligently lowering a speaker’s voice so the translation is easier to hear.<\/p>\n

In September, Apple blamed a potential delay on “additional engineering” that was required to make sure translated conversations stay private, with the company specifically trying to “make sure [conversations] won\u2019t be exposed to other companies or developers.” The wait for the feature should be worth it, though. In Engadget’s review of the AirPods Pro 3<\/a>, we found Live Translation to be a handy addition to what was already a solid pair of wireless earbuds.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking to try the feature before its official release, Apple Intelligence-capable iPhones running the iOS 26.2 developer beta can already use Live Translation on supported AirPods in the EU. A public beta of the software update will also be available soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a delay, Apple has announced that it’s bringing its AI-powered Live Translation feature to the European Union…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162982,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[311,18,2219,19,17,82,13363],"class_list":{"0":"post-162981","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-european-union","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-translation"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115493366937013184","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
