Navajo (Diné Bizaad) is a Southern Athabaskan language spoken by over 150,000 Navajo people primarily in the southwestern United States. It is written using the Latin alphabet with distinct diacritics that capture its unique sounds and tonal qualities. Navajo’s complex grammar and rich vocabulary not only serve as a means of everyday communication but also embody centuries of oral tradition and storytelling, reflecting the deep historical roots of the Navajo Nation.

Jeenie’s Navajo interpreters play a critical role in ensuring that Navajo speakers can access vital services—from healthcare to legal assistance—with clarity and cultural sensitivity. By providing precise and empathetic interpretation, Jeenie helps preserve the linguistic heritage of the Navajo language while facilitating effective communication and enabling greater inclusion in diverse, modern settings.

Navajo culture is a vibrant tapestry woven from centuries of nomadic heritage, spiritual beliefs, and artistic expression. The Navajo people are renowned for their intricate weaving, exquisite silverwork, and the powerful symbolism found in sandpaintings and ceremonies such as the Blessing Way and Enemy Way. These traditions are not only artistic endeavors but are deeply tied to the community’s spiritual life and connection to the natural world.

At Jeenie, our dedicated Navajo interpreters do more than simply translate words—they act as cultural ambassadors who help convey the richness and depth of Navajo traditions. By ensuring respectful, accurate, and culturally attuned communication, Jeenie supports the Navajo community in sharing their unique heritage and accessing essential services, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of Navajo culture on a global scale.

How much does Navajo interpreting cost?

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

We get this question a lot.

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

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

How are Navajo 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.
