capitalizing Spanish words in English writing

Do you capitalize a Spanish name for a day of the week when writing an English sentence? For example, "The Spanish word for Tuesday--martes--comes from Mars, the Roman god of war."

I'd say no. Native words should retain their natural spelling, so I'd expect "martes" in an English sentence, just as I'd expect "Tuesday" in a Spanish sentence. We are not translating the words in these cases, but instead just representing them as they are normally used.
