Steam added Bahasa Melayu (Malay) with a BETA designation to its language selection options in the Steam Subscriber Agreement. The agreement previously offered Thai but not Malay; the updated version removes Thai from the standard language list and adds Malay marked as experimental. This expands language support but indicates the Malay translation is not yet final.
Steam updated the language options available for accessing the Steam Subscriber Agreement. The agreement now offers Bahasa Melayu (marked BETA) instead of Thai. This is a localization change that does not alter the substantive terms of service.
The updated terms now offer the Steam Subscriber Agreement in Bahasa Melayu, expanding accessibility for Malay-speaking users. The BETA designation indicates the translation is preliminary and subject to revision, which may be relevant for users in Malaysia and neighboring regions relying on this localized version.
Bahasa Melayu (Malay) added as BETA option; Thai removed from available languages
