jiló
No need to translate this. If your audience is American, you might say something like 'jiló, a a kind of eggplant.'

scarlet eggplant
Right. You must maintain the word "scarlet", because "eggplant" means "beringela".

Anyway, I'd rather stay away from jiló, regardless of how you call it or how you prepare it. You are welcome to disagree :)
