Overview
- The iOS 27 beta adds nine languages and accents to Apple Translate, expanding the app’s support from 21 to 30 entries in the largest single update to date.
- The nine additions are Hebrew, Cantonese (Traditional), Danish, Malay, Norwegian Bokmål, Portuguese (Portugal), Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (US) and Swedish.
- Apple flagged this change in iOS 27 beta builds but the company may revise the list before the software ships later this year.
- Including separate Spanish variants for Mexico and the US reflects a focus on regional nuance that can improve everyday translations for travelers, residents and bilingual communities.
- Translate’s growth follows other 2026 moves to broaden language support across Apple products, such as App Store Connect localization and new keyboard language options, which could make Apple services more usable for global and regional audiences.
