disagree  Rajaa Aquil: Sorry Brett, you got the right meaning, but not the grammar. The verb in quesion is a transative verb that needs a direct object. The ones you supplied are intransative as they are parts of 'to be structure'

to immortalize (Am)- to immortalise (Br)


Explanation:
خَلَّد
is a form II causative verb, meaning it needs an object- to be mortal is reflexive- meaning the action falls on the subject that's doing the action, in Arabic فعل غير متعد - Therefore a better translation is a one that has the transative meaning فعل متعد. Check webster's page 580
