How to use Live Translation on AirPods Pro 3 | Tom's Guide
September 18, 2025 - If both members of the conversation have AirPods, you won't need to get your phone out — Live Translation will work for the two of you, translating your words into those that you'll understand. If only one of you has AirPods, you can pull your phone out for the opposite translation. That way, your conversation partner will be able to understand what you're saying. This feature works with AirPods 4, AirPods Pro 2, and the new AirPods Pro 3.

To explain why I find this relevant, I currently have an I phone 14 pro (no intelligence) and an Macbook pro with apple intelligence support. I'd love to be able to use the macbook as a processing base for this feature and I don't see why it wouldn't work. It has the relevant hardware (chips, mics etc.)
I'd like to buy the airpods, but this feature is a make-or-break to be honest for me, as my Pro 2's are fine enough.

It's more about the software. It works with older AirPods. The translation doesn't happen inside the AirPod though. "Live Translation with AirPods works on AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation and AirPods Pro 2 and later with the latest firmware when paired with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone running iOS 26 and later," Apple says. Apple will likely add this feature to MacOS at some point in the future.

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?

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.
