"Our interpreter was wonderful; she assisted with calling multiple Pohnpeian-speaking patients. She was so kind and made sure our patient understood and were able to communicate back."

Pohnpeian is a Micronesian language belonging to the Austronesian family and is primarily spoken on the island of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia. Known for its melodic cadence and rich oral tradition, the language is an integral part of the island’s heritage. Over the years, Pohnpeian has adapted to modern communication methods and is now written using the Latin alphabet, ensuring that its unique expressions and cultural idioms continue to thrive in everyday use.

Jeenie’s Pohnpeian interpreters are committed to bridging language gaps in various settings—from community services and healthcare to educational and cultural exchanges. By providing precise, culturally informed interpretation, Jeenie ensures that Pohnpeian speakers can share their stories and access essential services, while preserving the linguistic legacy of Pohnpei for future generations.

Pohnpeian culture is a vibrant tapestry woven from ancient traditions and a profound connection to the sea and land. The people of Pohnpei are known for their elaborate oral histories, dance, and traditional ceremonies that celebrate their ancestral heritage and communal bonds. Local practices—ranging from intricate weaving and navigation skills to the storytelling of legends and myths—reflect the island’s rich cultural legacy and a deep reverence for nature.

At Jeenie, our dedicated Pohnpeian interpreters serve as cultural ambassadors, helping to convey the nuances of Pohnpeian customs and traditions to a global audience. By facilitating respectful and clear communication, Jeenie supports the preservation of Pohnpeian culture and enables its speakers to engage meaningfully in cross-cultural interactions, ensuring that the unique spirit of Pohnpei continues to shine worldwide.

How much does Pohnpeian interpreting cost?

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

We get this question a lot.

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

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