Previously available learning media were limited and unable to integrate Arabic and Indonesian into a single platform, resulting in students having difficulty understanding the material more contextually. This activity was carried out at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Babat, involving Arabic language teachers and students as trial participants. The community service process was carried out through needs analysis, application design, web-based development, and field trials. Data were obtained through the distribution of satisfaction questionnaires and direct observation of teaching and learning activities. Teacher and student satisfaction levels were measured using questionnaires with a rating scale for ease of use, appearance, and the application's usefulness in the learning process. This translanguaging application is equipped with a two-way contextual translation feature, an interactive dictionary, and text comprehension exercises that help students improve language literacy and facilitate teachers in delivering material. The test results showed a teacher satisfaction level of 87% and a student satisfaction level of 90%, indicating that the application was well received. Overall, this activity proves that web-based translanguaging technology effectively supports Arabic-Indonesian language learning literacy, with a scope that can still be covered at other levels of education so that its benefits are even broader. Keywords: translanguaging; literacy; web-based; Arabic-Indonesian; learning technology.
