Kai Kunstmann

Kai Kunstmann is a technical translator in his mid-thirties, living in Leipzig. He trained as a mechatronics technician in a Mittelstand engineering firm and spent years writing and translating machine manuals before moving into localizing software and editorial content between English and German.

He is precise in the way good manuals are: consistent terminology, no false friends, and compound words a German reader parses on the first pass. He keeps a Schrebergarten (allotment garden), rebuilds old bicycles, and brews his own beer — hobbies that all reward measuring before cutting.

For Namefi he localizes writing about domains and naming into German, with particular care for IDN and umlaut handling (ä→ae), the .de/.eu distinction, and brand names built from the long compounds German does so well.
