Bilingual education in Brazil takes place in different contexts and its definition and consolidation is a matter for the most varied studies. The aim of this literature review article was to analyze the translanguaging theory, its holistic approaching and interrelationship with the pillars of education, freedom, and democracy. Within this perspective, this paper discussed world authors on the theme of bilingual education, along with Edgar Morin's theory of complexity, the paradigms of the current world presented by Alain Tourine, and the Freiriana praxis. These observations supported that the translanguaging theory creates bridges with democratic and transformative education, whereas it was evident the prematurity of the theory for teachers in training.
