Don’t be afraid if you are visiting the European Union country from the United States or the United Kingdom or anywhere else and hopes to use this feature to move in the talks during your trips.

Apple must take an accurate line in the European Union when it comes to presenting new features in the region due to the digital market law, according to which the company is the “gate guard”. Indeed, this year, the company was forced to delay the introduction of other tools and features that will be available with iOS 26, including the “visited places” menu with its maps app.

For everyone outside the European Union, the direct translation will be available on the new AirPods Pro 3 models, as well as the current AirPods Pro 2 models and AirPods 4. You will be able to translate the English language (the United States, the United Kingdom), French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.
