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

The Karenni language—often referred to as Kayah or Kayah Li—is a vital part of the cultural identity of the Karenni people of Myanmar. As a tonal language within the Sino-Tibetan family, it features distinctive pitch variations that give each word its unique meaning. With several dialects spoken across Karenni and neighboring regions, the language reflects a rich linguistic diversity that has been preserved despite historical challenges.

Jeenie’s Karenni interpreters play a crucial role in bridging communication gaps, ensuring that speakers of this unique language can engage effectively in fields such as healthcare, legal services, and everyday interactions. By delivering real-time, culturally sensitive interpretation, Jeenie not only supports effective communication but also helps safeguard the linguistic heritage of the Karenni community.

The Karenni culture is a tapestry of rich traditions and resilient spirit, deeply rooted in the rugged landscapes of Myanmar’s Kayah State. Despite enduring decades of conflict and displacement, the Karenni continue to honor their heritage through vibrant festivals, traditional crafts, music, and dance. Their customs and rituals, passed down through generations, serve as a powerful testament to their enduring identity and connection to their ancestral lands.

At Jeenie, our dedicated Karenni interpreters do more than just translate—they help share and preserve the unique stories and traditions of the Karenni people. Whether facilitating access to essential services or fostering meaningful cross-cultural dialogue, Jeenie’s interpretation services empower Karenni communities and ensure that their rich cultural legacy resonates on a global stage.

How much does Karenni interpreting cost?

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

We get this question a lot.

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

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

How are Karenni 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.
