Transliterated, yes, but as a word it's simply not used in Japanese. If a Japanese person wanted to write about Engrish, they'd write "Engrish", not イングリッシュ.

It could correspond to Engrish. 

If you look here, Engrish is transliterated as "イングリッシュ": https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/イングリッシュ

But I agree that it's probably very uncommon.

Added sense. Often used as a regular noun to mean "English language".
I don't agree with "Engrish" sense. The joke doesn't work in Japanese, which is why of the title of the Japanese Wikipedia article is "Engrish", not イングリッシュ. I suggest we drop it.
