German–Spanish & English–Spanish translations in intellectual property and technical language

Precise · Clear · Reliable

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.

My main field 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 → Spanish)
  • Urgent or occasional projects (English → Spanish)
  • Related legal-technical documents and correspondence
  • Terminology review and consistency checks
  • 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 IP texts, 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.
