<![CDATA[This study examines how vocational students mobilize translanguaging as a resource for technological sense-making in online ESP learning. Employing a case study, this study focuses on the depth of meaning rather than linguistic frequency or learning outcomes. It focuses on discourse-oriented analysis. Invoking an online discussion forum in Google Classroom, this study retrieved data from comments and replies from 7th-semester students of the Agricultural Mechanical Engineering Study Program for analysis. Data were analyzed using a qualitative discourse-oriented approach through a translanguaging lens. This study reveals that translanguaging to explain machine concepts and technical functions, linking technology with the needs of the Sambas community, shows critical evaluation and awareness of technological limitations, builds agreement and collaboration, and expresses humor and engagement in online forums. Overall, the study highlights translanguaging as a resource that enables ESP students to make sense of technological ideas through community-oriented technological discourse.]]>
