PhantomofEarth on Twitter found it, cheekily hiding in the right-click context menu of the network icon. You can also get it in the networking sub-menu (as pictured above) as its own dedicated icon. According to Windows Central, following either link will take you to Bing's internet speed test. Which probably isn't anyone ‘s favorite, but it's just a re-skinned version of Ookla's venerable Speedtest.net, and it's plenty functional if all you need is a quick look at the connection between you and a nearby server.
Microsoft hasn't officially announced the feature as something in the 25H2 update, despite it being live in the latest Windows Insider builds, so who knows when or if it'll actually show up. That said, it's a very small change and it's handy, so I don't see any reason that it wouldn't pop up fairly soon.

According to Windows Latest, the translation happens more or less live. However, given that it's powered by the latest AI technology, you'll need to have a reasonably powerful computer for this feature—at least 12GB of RAM and at least a quad-core CPU. (Note that if you assign that much memory to Edge, other apps will slow to a crawl while translating.)
The biggest problem with this real-time audio translation feature right now is that the AI-generated audio can suddenly switch between male and female voices when the tone of voice changes.
Furthermore, translation language support is extremely limited, with only English, Spanish, and Korean currently supported. However, the plan is to add more languages in the future.
