live translate keeps asking to download languages when i have downloaded

Hi I have the new AirPod pro 3’s and downloaded the latest os 26. I have downloaded languages but then I press both AirPod stems it tells me I have to download languages to continue. When I look in the translate app it shows downloaded languages but it keeps asking me to setup live translation and when I try the check mark button isn’t working just grayed out any ideas

I spent time with chat tech support then finally live voice tech support. Deleted the translate app, deleted a VPN app, reinstalled the translate app, cleared network settings, reconnected phone to wifi, reconnected airpods to phone. Opened app and it worked. The last steps, clearing the network settings were done after the tech support guy hung up. They sent a link to continue getting help incase the app still called for setting up live translation. I did not need it. The problem was resolved.
