Volens is the present participle (nom and acc), so that would translate as 'being willing'.

perhaps this is more complex than I'm seeing it, but it just seems like a present tense (1st principle part) depending on what your subject is (i.e., as laudo can be translated as I praise, I am praising, I do praise, I think the present of this verb is most easily translated as "I am (being) willing", "He is (being) willing", etc.) Volens, volentis is an adjective, so I suppose you could say something like "ego sum volens" = "I am willing". Not sure if this was much help, but good luck!

I am willing would be volo, but I suspect that "being willing " would depend on the context.
