Tyndale translated the Bible into English from a Latin translation; the Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek.
According to historical accounts, William Tyndale's final words were "Lord, open the King of England's eyes" just before he was executed for heresy in 1536. He is famous for his translation of the Bible into English and played a significant role in the Protestant Reformation.
Wycliffe translated it into Latin, but Tyndale translated it into English.
The Bible was translated from the original languages into English in 1611 by about 50 scholarly men; but it had first been translated into English 80 years before that by William Tyndale. The original languages were Hebrew for the Old Testament and Greek for the New testament
William Tyndale (c 1491 - 1536) made the first Protestant translation of the Bible into English. I believe that the Roman Catholic Church continued to insist that the Bible should only be read in Latin, so Tyndale's was probably the very first English translation. I do not know the exact year he completed his project. Tyndale's New Testament was fully printed in 1526, and the portions of the Old Testament were published in sections during his life but as a group in 1537, the year after his death. However, the Wycliffe translation first appeared in 1382, and there had been earlier partial translations into 7th century Old English before this.
