Note that the way Apple is doing this, you can only talk easily to other Apple earphone customers. This is going to be worse than the blue/green message bubble thing.

How come? If the other person has any other device that translates for them then you can talk to them easily with Airpods.

"The feature becomes more powerful when both conversation participants wear compatible AirPods with Live Translation enabled. Active Noise Cancellation automatically lowers the volume of the other speaker, helping users focus on translated audio while maintaining natural interaction flow."

From what I have seen that is not the case. The AirPods nor connected iPhones are interacting with the other person’s at all.
