Jeenie interpreters are more than linguists, they help others to navigate cultural differences and understand unique tonal and visual cues that non-native speakers often miss. They’re communication experts.
The Karen language, spoken by approximately 7 million people, primarily in Myanmar and Thailand, is a family of tonal languages belonging to the Sino-Tibetan language group. The Karen people, an ethnic group with a history of cultural preservation amidst adversity, have used their language to maintain a sense of identity. Despite displacement and conflict, Karen communities have preserved their linguistic heritage through oral traditions, songs, and storytelling. For many, speaking Karen is a profound expression of resilience and cultural pride.
Karen culture emphasizes community, respect, and the importance of nature. Traditional practices, such as “Hsa Too Lay”—a celebration of thanksgiving for a successful harvest—reflect deep spiritual connections to the land. Textiles, especially the weaving of intricate patterns on clothing, are culturally significant, with designs often representing stories or symbols unique to each community. Dance and music are also vital to Karen identity, conveying historical narratives and shared values. Understanding these cultural dimensions is essential for fostering respect and connection with Karen-speaking communities.
Across the industry, Karen interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details.
NOTE: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why? Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions.
We get this question a lot.
Karen interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Karen into English and English into Karen). Interpreters also serve as communication and are experts at culture nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other.
Karen translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language.
Jeenie attracts the best interpreters in the world. Truly. We constantly hear from clients that they have NEVER had such amazing interpreters on other services. That skill saves our clients time and minimizes their risk of costly miscommunications. Here’s how we excel at quality:
We treat interpreters well.
Jeenie offers linguists great compensation (often the best in the industry), work-life flexibility, ongoing learning to improve their craft, and our heart-felt respect. For this and many other reasons, the best interpreters want to be on the Jeenie platform.
We have extremely high standards.
Unlike most of our competitors who outsource huge chunks of their interpreting needs, Jeenie has created a vetted network of global talent who are active within our platform. This gives us direct oversight on quality and skills assessment. Jeenie interpreters must pass our rigorous skills evaluations, have several years of experience, maintain 4.0 average client rating, and pass ongoing quality tests.
Active Jeenie interpreting clients can access the Portal for accurate and culturally relevant translations. It’s an easy way to manage written translation projects (of any size) in one dashboard.
