Translanguaging

The practice of drawing on multiple languages within a single interaction or communication act, leveraging a person's full linguistic repertoire rather than treating languages as separate, bounded systems. Translanguaging is particularly relevant to accessibility for multilingual disabled people who may switch between languages or scripts while reading, and for deaf individuals who navigate between sign language and written language. Recent work in language justice has highlighted how centering translanguaging and decentering English fluency can advance disability justice in accessibility research.
