Hi Tiago, Put up your page as a publicly-available url and I can take a quick look at it.
(You can use different event data if you want to keep your stuff private.) I'd suggest that the first step is to put some non-English characters on the page itself, then add them to the Timeline data. That way you can see if the problem is that your page is not set to UTF-8 or if the data is not getting to, and then through, the Timeline library. I use non-US characters in Timeline all the time, so I'm sure that it works. Note that your non-US characters should be encoded in UTF-8, per the XML spec. Nothing else will do....

In addition, the content type should also be set in your http reply headers if you have access to your web server's settings.

Please choose UTF-8 encoding. Also include this declaration at the beginning of your XML file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Try to load your XML file directly into your browser and see how those characters appear. If they look fine, then I think they should look fine in the timeline.
