Translator causing doubt (tsumori)

[denkou]

I recently attempted to write "Today, I intend to write a new blog".

I thought I'd done pretty well. Rather than just use kaku, I used kakikomu (or kakikomi obviously when I use tsumori), which seemed more relevant for posting a blog entry. This is what I went with (please excuse the Romaji, I'm on a rubbish computer):

Kyou, watashi ha atarashii burogu wo kakikomitsumori.

Today, I intend to write (post) a new blog.

Now, I was quite confident that I did it ok. Even if it turned out to not be perfect, I figured it was at least understandable. I know the electronic translators cannot be trusted, and they often give silly answers, but one apparently translated my text as "Today, I am not going to write a new blog".

Not!? Hmm. I don't see how that became negative. Who is right then? Me or the electronic translator? Or are we both wrong? If so, can I get some advice on fixing my errors?

Thanks!

Tadashishiku ha "Kyou, atarashii burogu wo kakikomu tsumori da." desune

I was told that kakikomu was more common, but for blogging kakikomi would be more valid. But anyway, does that mean the translation was wrong then? No negative in it? Good to know if true!

"Kakikomi no tsumori" is probably OK.

But most commonly, it is the verb form, like "kakikomu" or "kakikomi wo suru," which precedes "tsumori."

The negative is "tsumori (de) wa nai" or "kakikomanai tsumori da."


What translator are you using ?

Elizabeth, thanks for the help!

I don't usually use translators but I was curious to see how well it did. I was in an iPhone app (not one specifically for translations, it just has that feature). I've learned my lesson, don't trust them!

Arigatougozaimasu!

"Kakikomu" or "kakikomi wo suru" is used when you are making posts on online message boards (like this one). For Blogs, the preferred term is "Koushin (wo) suru" (更新).

Kyou, (watashi ha) burogu no koushin wo suru tsumoridesu.
Kyou, burogu wo koushin suru tsumoridesu.
Saikin isogashikute burogu ga koushin dekimasen.
Kyou, hisashiburi ni burogu wo koushin shimashita.
Konya ha nemui node, burogu no koushin ha ashita ni shimasu.

Oh, yes. Thank you. 更新 is to create an update or upgrade of any software.
