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

Marshallese, or Kajin M̧ajeļ, is the official language of the Marshall Islands, spoken by over 60,000 people in the Pacific and by Marshallese communities in the U.S., especially in Arkansas, Hawaii, and Washington state. It is an Austronesian language with two main dialects, Rālik and Ratak, named after the island chains in the Marshall Islands. Marshallese has a unique vowel system and pronunciation, making precise interpretation essential for clear communication.

Despite English being widely used in government and education, Marshallese remains the dominant language in daily life. With Jeenie’s professional Marshallese interpreters, you get accurate and culturally appropriate communication, ensuring clarity in healthcare, legal, business, and community services.

Marshallese culture is deeply rooted in family, respect, and community values. Traditionally, Marshallese society is organized by a clan-based system, where elders and chiefs hold significant influence. Hospitality and generosity are central to daily interactions, and communal living remains a strong part of life in the islands.

Understanding Marshallese customs, greetings, and etiquette is key to building trust and strong relationships. A simple phrase or gesture can carry deep meaning, especially in formal settings. With Jeenie’s expert Marshallese interpreters, you get more than just language translation—you get cultural expertise, ensuring smooth and respectful communication in any situation.

How much does Marshallese interpreting cost?

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

We get this question a lot.

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

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

How are Marshallese 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.
