私はおもちゃの歯車で動いています。

Title
Toy
Translation
English

Translated by Kai Tachikawa1
Target language: English

I am a toy that uses gears to move.
Remarks about the translation
A slightly more anthropomorphic version:
I am a toy who uses a cogwheel to move.

Adding "Who" makes the toy seem more like a person.

Cogwheel makes it sound a little more old-fashioned.

Hello Ian,

I have one negative vote and have asked for motivation, but I have not had a reply. Could you help? Is this translation ok? If not, what is wrong with it? Thanks!

No. I would suggest " I am a toy that uses gear to move." or simply " I use gears to move. "
