iOS 27 adds nine new languages and accents to Apple Translate

In addition to bringing new keyboard and typing improvements across multiple languages, iOS 27 will also add several languages and accents to Apple Translate. Here are the details.

Apple steadily expands language support across its ecosystem

Just a few months ago, Apple added 11 new languages to App Store Connect for localized metadata. At WWDC26, the company also highlighted several improvements aimed at multilingual users, some of which are coming to the iOS 27 keyboard. That includes support for Afrikaans, Guarani, Zulu, and several Indigenous languages.
