    Third-person singular simple present of english.

    In her preface, the translator says she englishes Virgil plainly rather than forcing him into rhyme.

    The settler englishes every place he takes, renaming its rivers after towns back home.

    Note

    An archaic and rare verb sits behind this form: to turn a text into English, or to make something English by claiming it for England. It adds -es because english ends in sh, and it always takes an object (she englishes Virgil). The capitalized spelling, Englishes, belongs to the same old verb; in modern prose, translates into English is the safe choice.
