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.
