Apple Translate is set for a notable expansion in iOS 27, with support expected to rise from 21 languages and accents to 30. The update points to a broader push by Apple to make its translation tools more useful for multilingual users.
That expansion is only part of the story. Apple is also preparing keyboard and cross-language typing improvements for iOS 27, suggesting a wider effort to make communication across languages feel less fragmented on the iPhone.
Which languages are being added
According to 9to5Mac, as cited by www.liputan6.com, the iOS 27 beta 3 update will add nine new language or accent options to Apple Translate. The list includes several clearly new additions, while some are language variants already present elsewhere in Apple’s ecosystem.
| Language | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cantonese Chinese, Traditional | New | Included in iOS 27 beta 3 |
| Danish | New | Included in iOS 27 beta 3 |
| Hebrew | New | Included in iOS 27 beta 3 |
| Malay | New | Included in iOS 27 beta 3 |
| Norwegian Bokmål | New | Included in iOS 27 beta 3 |
| Portuguese (Portugal) | New | Included in iOS 27 beta 3 |
| Spanish (Mexico) | New | Included in iOS 27 beta 3 |
| Spanish (US) | New | Included in iOS 27 beta 3 |
| Swedish | New | Included in iOS 27 beta 3 |
The current Apple Translate lineup already covers Arabic, Cantonese Chinese, Mandarin in multiple variants, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
Apple also lists UK English as a translation-only option, alongside US English. For Chinese, support spans Traditional Cantonese, Simplified Mandarin, and Traditional Mandarin.
Apple is also building a new anti-scam feature
Beyond translation, Apple is preparing a security feature called Trust Insight for iPhone in iOS 27. It is designed to help users avoid digital scams when interacting through phone calls, messages, and email.
Apple explained during WWDC 2026 development sessions that Trust Insights works by analyzing user behavior patterns, including response speed and changes in device usage habits. If the system detects medium or high scam risk, the app in use can display a warning, add a delay before a transaction is processed, or request additional verification.
Privacy remains a central point
Apple says Trust Insights keeps privacy intact. The system does not read the content of phone calls, text messages, or email because the analysis is performed directly on the device.
Raw data is deleted immediately after processing, and only one analytical result is sent to Apple’s servers for comparison with overall account activity. In its early stage, the system will sort user activity into five categories, including payments, account information changes, resource-intensive processes, and sending messages, forms, or signed documents.
One additional category is also being prepared for other activities that do not fit into the first four groups. Together, the language expansion and the new security feature show iOS 27 moving toward broader usability and stronger protection against digital fraud.
