What year was the Bible translated into English?
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.

Why did Wycliffe translate the Bible into English?
John Wycliffe may have influenced its translation, but there is no claim during his lifetime that he did. This was claimed at least a generation after his death! If Wycliffe did have a part in translation, the proof escapes us. There was a demand by Preachers (the Lollards) to have a text in English - most ordinary folk were illiterate, and in any case lacked the money to purchase the costly scribe written manuscripts. Wycliffe's colleagues were certainly involved - Nicholas Hereford and John Trevisa (who is mentioned in the original preface to the King James Bible as being a translator (see link below for example). English as a language for academics was just coming into its own (rather than Latin and the Anglo-Norman French used by the educated -- and there were French versions of The Bible), and so the demand was actually quite low. The Lollards were suppressed, and the demand slowed down if not ended. There was not an absolute ban on translation, but unauthorized versions gained the Church's censure. It was only a hundred years later, with printing available was a renewed demand which made the Tyndale translation popular regardless of the censure -- and a year before Tyndale's death in 1535, a Bible appeared in English with the consent of the King. The sale of indulgences (previous answer "give me money and I will assure you that God will forgive your sins.") came later than Wycliffe and through Martin Luther seeking reforms began the Reformation.
