Translanguaging describes a linguistic phenomenon in which speakers play with different languages in their repertoire and create new identities and values. This study shows how translanguaging practices are used by a football fan community to construct a specific identity in the public urban space of Malang, East Java, Indonesia. I first explore the sociolinguistic situation in Indonesia with a focus on its language policies and education curriculum in order to contextualize the position of languages spoken in the city. Observations of texts written on banners found around the city during its favorite football team’s anniversary suggest that English as a global language has gained a stronger position in the public landscape alongside the national language, Indonesian. Javanese, a local language with a declining vitality, is rarely used, while Walikan, a segment-based reversal language that combines Javanese words with Indonesian and English words, is thriving. Speakers engage in a “translanguaging space”, where they creatively combine a less prestigious local language with languages of higher statuses. Within this space, speakers project a modern and forward-looking identity but still maintain their local roots. This study, therefore, offers a way to look into the multi-faceted identities of multilingual speakers.
