I'm trying to correct an essay I wrote for my French class but I can't figure out how to spell Hawaii. Is it Hawaï or Hawaii or Hawaïi??

Hawaii: it stays the same...generally you don't translate names of places (ofcourse there are exceptions based on certain accepted rules, but Hawaii is not one)

It's common to just say Hawaii.

It's a proper name of a place: It stays Hawaii.

Just like Osaka is spelled Osaka in english.
