"Our interpreter was wonderful; she assisted with calling multiple Kinyarwanda-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!"

Kinyarwanda is a Bantu language spoken by over 12 million people, primarily in Rwanda, where it is the official and most widely spoken language. It is also spoken in parts of Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi. As a tonal language, intonation and pitch can change the meaning of words, making precise communication essential.

While Kinyarwanda is Rwanda’s unifying language, regional dialects and cultural expressions can add complexity to communication. Whether you need assistance in healthcare, business, legal matters, or social services, Jeenie’s professional Kinyarwanda interpreters provide accurate and culturally sensitive support, ensuring clear and respectful communication.

Rwandan culture is built on community, respect, and hospitality, with strong emphasis on politeness and indirect communication. Greetings are an essential part of social interactions, often involving formal expressions of respect. Umuganda (community service day) reflects Rwanda’s deep-rooted value of collective responsibility and cooperation.

Understanding Kinyarwanda customs, traditions, and etiquette is key to building strong relationships in both social and professional settings. A simple gesture or phrase can carry significant meaning depending on the context. With Jeenie’s expert Kinyarwanda interpreters, you get more than just translation—you get cultural expertise, ensuring smooth and meaningful interactions in any situation.

How much does Kinyarwanda interpreting cost?

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

We get this question a lot.

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

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

How are Kinyarwanda 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.
