"Our interpreter was wonderful; she assisted with calling multiple Hausa-speaking patients. She was so kind and made sure our patient understood and were able to communicate back."

"Marcia was absolutely wonderful and professional. Not only did she help the patient, she helped me understand the order of the patients name to correct it in the system. Probably one of the best interpreters I’ve ever had!"

Hausa is an Afro-Asiatic language widely spoken by over 50 million people in West Africa, primarily in Nigeria and Niger, with communities across the Sahel and diaspora worldwide. Renowned for its clear tonal structure and expressive vocabulary, Hausa is written using both the Latin (Boko) and the traditional Ajami (Arabic) scripts. With a rich tradition of oral literature that includes folktales, proverbs, and epic poetry, the language serves as a vital medium for commerce, education, and cultural exchange across the region.

Jeenie’s Hausa interpreters are dedicated to breaking down language barriers in essential areas such as healthcare, legal services, and community outreach. By delivering fast, accurate, and culturally sensitive interpretation, Jeenie helps Hausa speakers connect confidently on both local and international platforms—preserving the linguistic heritage of Hausa while ensuring effective communication in critical settings.

Hausa culture is a dynamic blend of tradition and modernity, deeply rooted in centuries of history and a strong sense of community. It is known for its elaborate art, music, and dance, as well as its vibrant markets, intricate crafts, and flavorful cuisine that reflect the rich heritage of West Africa. Festivals and social gatherings, such as the annual Durbar celebrations, bring people together to honor their traditions and strengthen communal bonds.

At Jeenie, our dedicated Hausa interpreters do more than just translate—they serve as cultural ambassadors who help convey the rich traditions and values of Hausa society. By facilitating respectful and effective communication, Jeenie supports the Hausa community in accessing essential services and sharing their unique cultural narratives with the world, ensuring that the vibrant spirit of Hausa culture continues to thrive in an interconnected global landscape.

How much does Hausa interpreting cost?

Across the industry, Hausa 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.

Are Hausa translators and Hausa interpreters the same thing?

We get this question a lot.

Hausa interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Hausa into English and English into Hausa). Interpreters serve as communication and are experts at cultural nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other.

Hausa translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language.

How are Hausa interpreters on Jeenie different from other services?

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.
