Live translation might be coming sooner than we think for the Apple AirPods. Images found in iOS 26 beta 6 suggest the feature is soon launching on Apple's wireless earbuds. As seen above, one of the photos shows the picture of AirPods with Hello said in different languages alongside a suggestion to double-press to activate the feature. The file itself was also named Translate, with MacRumors confirming the photo was seen in the files for the Translate app in the latest beta.
iOS 26 is going to bring Live Translation to the Phone and Messages apps and FaceTime, so it doesn't feel like too much of a stretch to see it come to AirPods for in-person translations.
