Any device. Anywhere. Any time.
Mandarin, the most spoken language globally, has a history intertwined with China’s cultural evolution. Emerging over 1,000 years ago during the Ming Dynasty, Mandarin gradually standardized as the official dialect, replacing regional variations. Its influence solidified during the Qing Dynasty when Mandarin became the lingua franca of government and education.
Today, Mandarin’s prominence extends beyond borders, reflecting China’s growing global influence.
Mandarin culture emphasizes respect, tradition, and collectivism. For example, the concept of "guanxi"—relationships and networks—is central to business and personal interactions. Additionally, the language’s reliance on tonal differences demands careful listening and nuance, fostering a culture that values precise communication.
Food plays a significant role, with regional delicacies symbolizing prosperity and health. Understanding Mandarin and its cultural context is vital for fostering meaningful connections in both personal and professional spheres.
Across the industry, Mandarin 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.
We get this question a lot.
Mandarin interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Mandarin into English and English into Mandarin). Interpreters also serve as communication and are experts at culture nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other.
Mandarin translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language.
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:
