Language Experts and Cultural Ambassadors

Jeenie interpreters are more than linguists, they help others to navigate cultural differences and understand unique tonal and visual cues that non-native speakers often miss. They’re communication experts.

About the Tamil Language

Tamil is one of the world's oldest continuously spoken languages, belonging to the Dravidian language family and primarily spoken in Tamil Nadu, India and Northern Sri Lanka, with a significant global diaspora. Its rich literary history spans over two millennia, with classical texts like the Sangam literature and epics such as the Silappatikaram showcasing its deep cultural roots. Written in the distinctive Tamil script, the language is celebrated for its precise phonetics and expressive vocabulary that capture both ancient traditions and modern innovations.

Jeenie’s Tamil interpreters are committed to bridging language barriers in diverse sectors—be it healthcare, legal, or community services. By providing fast, accurate, and culturally sensitive interpretation, Jeenie ensures that Tamil speakers can participate fully in global conversations while preserving the linguistic elegance and historical legacy of Tamil. This dedication helps empower communities and supports the ongoing enrichment of Tamil as a vibrant medium of communication.

About Tamil Culture

Tamil culture is a dynamic blend of ancient traditions and contemporary creativity. Rooted in a history that spans thousands of years, it encompasses celebrated classical arts like Bharatanatyam dance, Carnatic music, and intricate kolam designs. Festivals such as Pongal and Tamil New Year are observed with immense joy and are marked by traditional rituals, sumptuous feasts, and vibrant community gatherings that underscore the importance of family, gratitude, and renewal.

At Jeenie, our dedicated Tamil interpreters act as cultural ambassadors who help convey the richness and diversity of Tamil heritage. They facilitate respectful and accurate communication, enabling Tamil communities to access essential services and share their unique traditions with a global audience. Through their efforts, Jeenie supports the preservation and celebration of Tamil cultural narratives, ensuring that the timeless values and artistic expressions of Tamil society continue to thrive in an interconnected world.

FAQs

How much does Tamil interpreting cost?

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

We get this question a lot.

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

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

How are Tamil 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.
