Indonesian, or Bahasa Indonesia, is the official language of Indonesia, spoken by over 270 million people. While it serves as a unifying language for a country with more than 700 local languages, it is primarily based on Malay, with influences from Dutch, Arabic, Sanskrit, and Javanese. Indonesian has a straightforward grammar system, no verb conjugations, and uses the Latin alphabet, making it one of the easier Asian languages to learn.

Despite its simplicity, regional dialects, cultural expressions, and levels of formality can impact communication. Whether for business, healthcare, legal matters, or tourism, Jeenie’s professional Indonesian interpreters provide accurate and culturally sensitive language support, ensuring smooth and effective communication.

Indonesian culture is a blend of diverse ethnic traditions, religions, and customs, influenced by Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Dutch heritage. The country is known for its rich arts, traditional dances, and batik textiles, as well as celebrations like Hari Raya (Eid), Nyepi (Balinese New Year), and Independence Day. Food plays a major role in social gatherings, with dishes like nasi goreng, satay, and rendang being widely enjoyed.

Respect and politeness are highly valued in Indonesian society, with gestures such as bowing slightly when greeting and using formal titles showing courtesy. Understanding Indonesian customs, indirect communication styles, and etiquette is key to building strong relationships. With Jeenie’s expert Indonesian interpreters, you get more than just translation—you get cultural expertise, ensuring meaningful and respectful interactions in any setting.

How much does Indonesian interpreting cost?

Across the industry, Indonesian 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 Indonesian translators and Indonesian interpreters the same thing?

We get this question a lot.

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

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

How are Indonesian 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.
