HelloFCB
When I was in Clanwilliam on Monday, a Japanese tour group watched the Rooibos video in Japanese and the feedback we got was very positive. They said that the Japanese text and voice over was very good and they were delighted that Rooibos had gone to the trouble of producing a Japanese version of the video. Thank you and your translator/voice over artist for a great job and helping us to get the correct Rooibos message to a wider audience.

I’d like to thank you again for this opportunity – not only for the payment, but for the opportunity to truly help people. While you are in the office, you might not realise what amazing work you do: Helping the Deaf to understand what’s happening at a doctor’s appointment and giving them a chance to ask questions is a big deal. Well done, and thank you that I can be a part of this.

Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your collaboration this year, and indeed every year!
It's been 7 years now since we began working together and you have been very supportive and understanding, especially when the going gets tough. I cannot thank you enough.
You took me in when I was but a rookie in 2012 and you have turned me into the pro I have become. Should you ever doubt your impact in the larger scale of things, professionally, remember what you have done for me and let your heart be filled with joy and contentment.

The German translation (of the cookbook) is really a job well done, thank you.
Swartberg Biking
Reading through the translation makes me realize the value specialists like you and your editors add to colour in and give that extra “oomph” to what we are trying to say. I suppose large companies can pay big money to have specialist do it all for them. We, on the other hand, knowing what we would like to say, but having to do it in a second language without the necessary grammatical knowledge and extensive vocabulary, value the help your company offer at affordable rates.
Mint Productions & Destinations
Always a pleasure and thank you for all your help with the interpreting service – you are amazing to work with.

Physiotherapy Outpatients Department, Groote Schuur Hospital.
I would like to take this opportunity to commend Folio’s South African Sign Language interpreter for a job exceptionally well done in signing during my interaction and treatment of our hearing-impaired patient in Physiotherapy Outpatients Department, Groote Schuur Hospital. Her skill really made a difference to the patient’s treatment and understanding the importance of therapeutic exercise and self-care in the home. I too learnt a few gestures. I wish you could see me sign: ‘good’, ‘fantastic’, ‘thank you’, ‘you’re welcome’ and ‘it’s a pleasure’. Thank you for a remarkable session.
Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre
I am writing to recommend Folio InterTel, a medical interpreting service provider, who has been an invaluable asset to the healthcare services at the Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre. Folio InterTel offers interpretation services both in-person and online for a wide variety of languages. Folio InterTel's team is professional, friendly, and efficient, always willing to assist and respond promptly. Furthermore, I have been consistently impressed with Folio InterTel’s level of commitment and attention to detail. They are reliable and always meet their deadlines. They are also flexible and can accommodate last-minute requests, which is essential in a busy healthcare environment. Their interpreters are skilled and experienced in providing language support in various healthcare settings. They demonstrate a good understanding of the nuances of different languages and cultures, making it easier for healthcare professionals to provide the best possible care to their patients. I highly recommend Folio InterTel for translation or interpretation needs. They have formed an integral part of our team, helping to bridge the communication gap between healthcare professionals and patients who do not speak the same language. Specifically, the provision of their services not only allows me as the health professional to fully understand and treat patients appropriately but also empowers the patients to engage meaningfully and efficiently in their own healthcare journey.
Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service that we have been receiving from Folio Interpreting Services. Your prompt, effective, and highly efficient interpreting services have made a significant impact on the lives of many of our newly disabled local and foreign clients over the past years. The gracious manner in which your interpreters serve our clients, who often struggle with multiple losses, is highly commendable. Our team greatly appreciates the invaluable service that you are providing to our diverse patient population. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks for your continued dedication and commitment to providing excellent services and for our great stakeholder relationship.

The interpreter managed to find his way to hospital. I filled out the admin sheet. Having him assist in person really helped to obtain the relevant information and to clarify matters. Thank you once again for an invaluable service.

Vanoggend was so amazing, ons kliënt het uit sy nate gebars van geluk oor sy apparaat! En InterTel het so groot rol daarin! Dankie dat ek kon help in die proses.
