To maintain Virgin’s high levels of customer service, the in-flight on-screen display options need to be available in a host
of languages to enable individual passengers to navigate through the entertainment system in their language of choice.
Service Provided
Bubbles provides Virgin Atlantic with a dedicated team of
native-speaking and degree-educated translators that, each
month, carry out local research to make sure the established
characters and wordings for movies and artists are always
adhered to.
Adding Value
The Bubbles Translation Memory tool is used to memorise
phrases so translations can be reapplied wherever the
phrase appears. This ensures continuity and consistency of
style and terminology in wording that is regularly updated,
altered or contains the same phrase – in turn delivering
enhanced efficiency at a reduced cost.
32. Weetabix
Weetabix exports its breakfast cereals to more than 80 countries around the world. In 2011 the company embarked on a
£7m global marketing campaign to transform the €100m a year Weetabix brand.
Service Provided
Bubbles was tasked with providing exacting translation services
to enable Weetabix to effectively communicate the new brand
positioning and messaging to partners and consumers in each
of the target export countries.
Adding Value
Weetabix’s overseas advertising messages are very different
from its UK positioning. This involved specialist teams of
translators to match marketing messages, legal t&c’s with
text length (for packaging) and the right balance of cultural
idioms and nuances to perfect the translation service.

working hand in hand with them across a wide range of market
research areas. Bubbles provide translations, proofreading and
QA analysis; and provide the translation of documents such as
questionnaires, survey responses and code-frames.
Adding Value
Meeting the needs of a client that works to some of the
most time critical deadlines in the world requires steadfast

meticulous project management and provisions twenty four
hours a day.
34. Brintons

Service Provided
Aimed at stimulating growth on a global scale, a new
marketing strategy involved revamping Brinton’s website. As
part of the three-month project, Bubbles Translation Services
was tasked with translating the site into four different European
languages.
Adding Value
Brintons was already using a third party to create the
content for its English website, part of the brief included
Bubbles liaising directly with the web designers.
By taking this approach, Bubbles’ translators were able to
produce content in a format that enabled the website to be
populated with minimal effort, a move that ultimately
resulted in minimising the final cost for Brintons.

Scientific to translate and typeset a number of complex
technical documents into more than 40 languages. The
documents included highly technical user/maintenance
manuals for medical diagnostic equipment, instructions and
software and datasheets for specialist pharmaceutical products.
Adding Value
The Bubbles translators involved with this project
understood the importance of phraseology and cultural
sensitivity in certain areas, which is why their work could be
relied upon to convey exactly the right message in the right
way. Bubbles was able to deliver the translations on time
and to a consistently high standard.

have been significantly improved; today Meggitt have

the world they provide medical solutions in crisis areas such war zones and areas affected by natural disasters.

resources including local distributors and smaller translation
companies leading to brand inconsistency and the passionate
and dedicated team being unhappy with their global
customer’s experience.
Adding Value
As well as improving the quality and consistency of
translations, Bubbles was able to introduce major cost
savings by utilising computer aided translation (CAT)
tools.This system “memorises” all translations so that if the

future manual, Norbar do not need to pay in full for this
again.

Eastern language translations, where the speciality and diversity
of languages in singular regions can often have an enormous
amount of dialects.

highly confidential corporate announcements (such as
quarterly results), strategic, business plans and senior
management activities.
We also translate customer facing documents, incorporating
many aspects of product literature (such as user guides,
packaging, and license agreements) as well as highly

pharmaceuticals, eye care products, generics, consumer health products, vaccines and diagnostic tools and animal health

themselves in a difficult situation when, at the last moment, the
chosen supplier advised that they would be unable to meet the
deadline due to the material’s complex and varied subject
matter.
