Change the language of your timeline

Overview 

Office Timeline Online lets you change the language of your timeline’s scale, dates, Today marker and duration counts for communications with international audiences. Setting your language preferences can be done either for an individual timeline or at account-level (meaning your preferences will be saved as the default for any future timeline will create). Here’s how it works:

A) Changing the language for an individual timeline

1. From your current timeline, click on the Timeline Settings button in the top right corner of the screen.

2. In the Timeline Settings window, click the drop-down menu under Timeline language and select your preference. 

   

3. Click the green Save button, and our web tool will instantly translate your timeline’s scale, dates, task duration counts, and Today marker into the chosen language.

   

B) Set the global language at account level (user settings)

Changing your language preferences at the account level means that the chosen language will be applied automatically to any new timeline you create (visuals already saved in your gallery will not be impacted).

Just like in the case of the timeline-level settings, you'll be able to set your preferences from the General tab of the window that pops up.

Please note that the global language settings only apply to your timelines' scale, dates, task duration and Today marker. Task and milestone titles or the application's control will not be translated.
