Versión Corregida The aim of this article is to expand the definition of translation through a transdisciplinary approach. This is achieved by conceptualizing the cosmopolitan city as a text requiring translation. Taking Ilan Stavans’s particular use of language in a cosmopolitan translanguaging space as a case study, this article analyzes his "Nuyol" as both a translation site and a translation zone. The translations of Stavans—a polyglot transmigrant—demonstrate how the contemporary interconnection among mobility, space, and languages contributes to the construction of complex identities in cosmopolitan cities, particularly in his Nuyol, where people "live translated." This phenomenon is examined through a research lens that views contemporary cities as both translanguaging spaces and translational cities. Combining these two concepts reveals how Stavans’s Spanglish can act as a force to deterritorialize homogeneous spaces.
