About
I am Kurt Wischin, founder of Ludwigs Leiter Translations. For more than 25 years I have worked as a freelance translator from German and English into Spanish, mainly for Mexican patent and intellectual-property attorneys handling matters for clients in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, other European countries, and the United States.
The main activity of Ludwigs Leiter Translations is intellectual property translation: patent specifications, claims, legal-technical correspondence, and related documentation. My experience and linguistic training also allow me to translate other technical and academic texts with equal precision.
Services
- Patent specifications, claims, and descriptions (German and English → Spanish)
- Urgent and occasional projects (Spanish → English and German)
- Related legal-technical documents and correspondence
- Terminology review and consistency checks
- Works in Philosophy and Humanities in General
- Strict confidentiality for all materials
Why human translation still matters
Machine translation has improved dramatically in recent years. Algorithms can produce sentences that appear correct — but language is not ruled by grammar or code; it is ruled by understanding of a situation, a purpose, a technical idea. Without that understanding, a translation may sound fluent yet distort the original thought. In texts related to matters of Intellectual Property, where a single term can define legal protection, such distortions can have serious consequences. That is why I translate every document personally, with the same care, precision, and conceptual clarity that guide my work in the philosophy of language.
