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

Samoan is a Polynesian language that forms part of the Austronesian family and is spoken by over 400,000 people in Samoa, American Samoa, and diaspora communities around the world. The language is celebrated for its melodic cadence and clear enunciation, characteristics that have been passed down through generations via oral traditions and storytelling. Written in the Latin script, Samoan maintains a rich vocabulary and grammar that reflects its deep historical roots and vibrant cultural identity.

Jeenie’s Samoan interpreters ensure that language barriers do not hinder access to essential services. Whether in healthcare, legal settings, or community engagement, our expert interpreters provide fast and accurate interpretation that honors the unique nuances of Samoan. This commitment helps preserve the integrity of the language while empowering Samoan speakers to communicate confidently in both local and global contexts.

Samoan culture is renowned for its strong sense of community, deep-rooted traditions, and a vibrant connection to nature. Central to the Samoan way of life is the concept of fa'a Samoa—the Samoan way—which emphasizes family, respect, and communal support. Traditional practices such as tattooing (tatau), fire dancing, and oral storytelling play a vital role in preserving cultural heritage, while vibrant celebrations and ceremonies mark important life events and communal gatherings.

At Jeenie, our dedicated Samoan interpreters do more than translate words—they help bridge cultural understanding by conveying the subtleties and rich heritage of Samoan traditions. By ensuring respectful and effective communication, Jeenie supports Samoan communities in accessing crucial services and sharing their unique cultural narratives with the world, thus helping to preserve and celebrate the enduring spirit of Samoan culture.

How much does Samoan interpreting cost?

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

We get this question a lot.

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

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

How are Samoan 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.
