Affected users
EU users Non-english speakers

OpenAI removed the language selector menu from the header of its EU Terms of Use on June 3, 2026. The document previously displayed 67 language options (including Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and others) at the top of the page. The updated version streamlines the header by removing this language navigation list while retaining the document content itself. Users accessing the EU Terms of Use no longer encounter the multilingual selector in the initial interface.

What this means for you

OpenAI removed the multilingual language selector from the header of its EU Terms of Use on June 3, 2026. Previously, users could access the terms in 67 languages (including Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and others) directly from the top of the page. The updated version no longer displays this selector in the initial interface. Non-English speakers in Europe may need to locate language options through alternative methods or may encounter the terms primarily in English on initial access.

Key Clauses Affected
