Here are two excerpts from the Internet, in which the word is used.

anderer Völker und Kulturen? Das traditionelle Judentum hat von Anfang an seine eigene Geschichte enträumlicht. Was damit gemeint ...

Das Internet ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es entpersonifiziert, entkörperlicht, enträumlicht ist. Ein Widerspruch?

Perhaps \"unlimited by space\" would work, or \"where space loses its meaning.\"

In any case, my comments might help someone come up with something.

de-localized

Explanation:
"enträumlicht" in the sense that life doesn's take place in a specific locale anymore.

cf:
Aside from the fact that it is not easy to define what reality is, this statement is inconsistent: people surf the Internet and move about by car. People live in a de-localized world and, at the same time, live in urban suburbs. [...] The virtual and real worlds intersect each other and extend themselves one do not reduce the consumption of materials and objects, or of space and time.
bibo.sigis.net/filemanager/download/2/Democracy.rtf

Linguistic consciousness is thus increasing and speaking Tashelhit has for some become an act of homecoming, an assertion of a local identity in an increasingly de-localized world.
