r/apple on Reddit: Anyone been hands on with live translation outside of an Apple event?

Live translation is the biggest draw for me. Wondering if anyone has received their AirPods and has used live translation?
Does it work as advertised? Does it work better than Google Translate? Are there any languages not supported?
Top answer 1 of 36

There are just a few languages that are supported. I have tried Spanish. My wife is American, she speaks Spanish pretty well. I am Russian - I know a little bit of Spanish. But obviously the easiest one for us Russian-English are not supported. So we just tried Spanish-English and I was impressed.
