Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language with a rich literary tradition, spoken by over 100 million people primarily in Pakistan and parts of India. Known for its elegant, Persian-influenced vocabulary and its lyrical, poetic expression, Urdu has been a medium for classical poetry, philosophical treatises, and modern literature for centuries. It is written in the refined Nastaliq script, a calligraphic form of the Arabic script that adds to its artistic and expressive appeal. Over time, Urdu has evolved by absorbing elements from Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and local South Asian languages, giving it a unique character and depth.

Jeenie’s Urdu interpreters are committed to bridging language barriers in critical fields such as healthcare, legal services, and community outreach. By providing fast, accurate, and culturally attuned interpretation, Jeenie ensures that the subtleties and rich nuances of Urdu are preserved in every interaction. This not only empowers Urdu speakers to access essential services but also helps maintain the timeless literary and cultural heritage embedded in the language.

Urdu culture is a vibrant tapestry interwoven with centuries of art, literature, and music. It is celebrated for its classical poetry—featuring ghazals and qawwalis that eloquently express themes of love, beauty, and spiritual introspection—and its traditional arts like intricate calligraphy and Mughal miniature painting. Festivals such as Eid and various literary gatherings showcase the warmth and communal spirit of the Urdu-speaking world, blending deep-rooted traditions with modern influences.

At Jeenie, our dedicated Urdu interpreters do more than just translate; they serve as cultural ambassadors who help convey the richness of Urdu traditions to a global audience. By facilitating respectful and effective communication, Jeenie empowers Urdu speakers to share their unique cultural narratives, ensuring that the enduring legacy and vibrant spirit of Urdu culture continue to thrive in every conversation.

How much does Urdu interpreting cost?

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

We get this question a lot.

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

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

How are Urdu 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.
