Yeah, someone should update it to have better multilanguage support. But if no active developers are familiar with the code, this may take some effort (patches welcome). Also, I seem to recall (several years ago, back when I last heard someone complain about this) that the big problem is not in EasyTimeline itself, but in the third-party software which it uses to render the images. Thus, MediaWiki developers might not be able to fix the problem on their own at all.
It also doesn't help that it is written in Perl. Although it is not as rare as some other languages (ocaml to take a total random example) it would help if it would be in PHP. (The same goes for math)
