If you’ve invested in an Apple Watch, or splurged on the fancier Apple Watch Ultra, you’re well aware of its prowess.

Breaking language barriers becomes simple with iTranslate Converse. This app listens and translates between two languages in real-time, enabling seamless conversation with someone who speaks a different language. It displays and speaks the translation on your Apple Watch, making communication easy and natural.
