Midjourney added a new Community Localization program section to its Terms of Service on May 28, 2026. The updated terms establish that users may submit translations and localization content, and by doing so, they irrevocably assign all rights, title, and interest in those translations to Midjourney, with no compensation or attribution required. The company may use, modify, reject, or monetize submitted translations at any time and for any reason.
Users submitting translations: If you submit a translation, Midjourney owns it completely and can use it however they want without paying you or giving you credit.
The updated terms establish a Community Localization program that permits users to submit translations and localization content. By submitting translations, users irrevocably assign all rights, title, and interest (including intellectual property and moral rights waiver where applicable) to Midjourney.
