Note
The verb behind this form is archaic and rare: it meant putting a text into English, or making a place English and claiming it for England. The lowercase spelling varies with the capitalized verb, so Englishing appears too. As a gerund it names the labor itself, as in the englishing of the Psalms; outside deliberately old-fashioned writing, translating into English says the same.
