Apple has unveiled the AirPods Pro 3 alongside the new iPhone 17 series, introducing several new features powered by artificial intelligence. While improvements in design and noise cancellation are part of the upgrade, the real-time live translation feature has become the standout addition, especially for users in multilingual countries like India.
Priced at ₹25,900 in India and $249 in the US, the new AirPods are already available for pre-order in over 50 countries, with retail sales beginning from September 19, 2025.

The live translation on AirPods Pro 3 is designed to translate conversations in real time. It uses Apple Intelligence, the company’s AI system, to detect spoken language and provide near-instant translations through the earbuds.
According to Apple, “When the feature is turned on, the original voice is lowered in volume, and the translated version is made clearer, helping the listener focus on what’s being said in their preferred language.”
Suppose an English speaker is talking to someone who speaks Hindi. With the AirPods Pro 3 in use, the Hindi translation will play in real-time through the earbuds for the English speaker to hear.

If both people are wearing AirPods Pro 3, the conversation becomes two-way, enabling a natural dialogue across different languages. This feature also works even when one person doesn’t have AirPods, as long as the other user is connected to an iPhone.
Additionally, translations can be shown on the iPhone screen or read aloud, making it ideal for travel, meetings, or everyday conversations.

Apple has not yet released the official list of supported languages for this feature. However, based on existing Apple Translate and Siri capabilities, it is expected to include:
Over time, more Indian languages like Tamil, Bengali, and Telugu may be added, though this hasn’t been confirmed yet.
India is home to 22 official languages and hundreds of regional dialects. Miscommunication due to language barriers is a common challenge in sectors like education, healthcare, travel, and business.
