YourPods spricht jetzt deine Sprache. Deutsch, Spanisch, Französisch, Italienisch und Niederländisch. Die App folgt der Sprache, die auf deinem Gerät eingestellt ist, und du kannst sie jederzeit in den Einstellungen wechseln. Jeder Bildschirm ist übersetzt – auch alles, was VoiceOver vorliest, und alles, was Siri dir antwortet. Datum, Dauer, Tempo und Prozentwerte folgen den Formaten deiner Region. Die Übersetzungen stammen von einer KI, und die App sagt das auch. Wenn YourPods zum ersten Mal in einer für dich neuen Sprache erscheint, erklärt ein Hinweis, dass wir KI zum Übersetzen aus dem Englischen einsetzen, dass manche Formulierung danebenliegen kann und wie du melden kannst, was sich falsch liest. Dieselbe Erklärung steht dauerhaft in den Einstellungen.
