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.
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. The terms state that Midjourney may use, modify, monetize, or reject translations for any reason, and may suspend or terminate participation at any time. Users provide translations voluntarily without expectation of compensation or attribution. You can choose whether or not to participate in the Community Localization program; submission of translations is optional and governed by these new terms.
The updated terms establish explicit ownership and monetization rights for user-submitted translations, fundamentally reshaping what happens to localization work contributed by the community. This clarifies that translations are uncompensated intellectual property transfers rather than collaborative contributions, which may affect participation incentives and the scope of user control over derivative uses of their localization work.
→ Review the Community Localization terms before submitting any translations to confirm acceptance of the irrevocable rights assignment.
→ Choose not to participate in the program if you wish to retain ownership and control of translations you create.
→ If you submit translations to the Community Localization program, you assign all rights to Midjourney and retain no ownership or control over future uses.
→ Midjourney may modify, monetize, or create derivative works from your translations without further compensation or attribution as stated in the updated terms.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
If you submit a translation, Midjourney owns it completely and can use it however they want without paying you or giving you credit.
Midjourney formalized a Community Localization program under which user-submitted translations are assigned entirely to the company with full intellectual property transfer and moral rights waiver. The program operates on a voluntary, uncompensated basis. This change does not appear to engage specific regulatory frameworks directly, but organizations that incorporate Midjourney-localized content into downstream products should verify that the origin, licensing, and attribution of translation content aligns with their own terms of service and privacy policies. No specific new compliance obligation is created by this change itself, but downstream vendors should audit how user-generated translation rights are represented.
