Using live translation with Airpod Pro 3 and Ipad Pro

Can I use live translation with AirPods Pro 3 and my iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation)? I'm reading that it is available but I do not see the Live tab in Translate app on my iPad using iOS 26.2. My iPhone is 14 Pro so I don't believe I can use it there.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 26
