He didn't personally do the translation himself, but James I (of England and Ireland) and VI (of Scotland) did commission a translation of The Bible in 1604 which was completed in 1611.
What most people today call "the King James Version" is actually properly called "the standard text of 1769", a number of misprints and errors in the original 1611 edition being corrected in an edition issued in that year.
