3. Include events that build up to major occurrences, not just the major events.
# i18n support
One thing missing in the original version is i18n support. Especially when it comes to date output the format was hardcoded into the sources.

full_long_small_date: "HH:MM'<br/><small>'dddd',' d. mmm yyyy'</small>'",
},
messages: {
loading_timeline: "Chronologie wird geladen...",
return_to_title: "Zurück zum Anfang",
expand_timeline: "Chronologie vergrößern",
contract_timeline: "Chronologie verkleinern"
}
