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

Kirundi is a Bantu language that serves as one of the official languages of Burundi and is spoken by millions across the region. Rich in intonation and rhythmic speech patterns, Kirundi not only facilitates everyday communication but also embodies the cultural heritage of its speakers. Its structure, deeply rooted in centuries of tradition, offers a window into the history and social fabric of the Burundian people.

Jeenie’s Kirundi interpreters are essential in bridging language gaps, whether in healthcare, legal, or community services. By providing accurate and culturally nuanced interpretation, Jeenie empowers Kirundi speakers to communicate effectively in global settings while ensuring that the unique linguistic identity of Kirundi is respected and preserved.

The Kirundi culture is a vibrant tapestry woven from centuries of history, traditions, and community values in Burundi. Central to this culture are festivals, traditional music, dance, and storytelling, which celebrate themes of unity, resilience, and the beauty of everyday life. These cultural expressions are a source of pride and continuity for Kirundi speakers, strengthening bonds within communities and passing traditions to future generations.

At Jeenie, our dedicated Kirundi interpreters do more than facilitate language translation—they help preserve and share the rich cultural narratives of Burundi. By ensuring seamless and respectful communication across diverse settings, Jeenie supports the ongoing celebration and global recognition of Kirundi culture, connecting communities and fostering cross-cultural understanding.

How much does Kirundi interpreting cost?

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

We get this question a lot.

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

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

How are Kirundi 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.
