Fortnight is not Old English, it is modern British English and in daily use for probably 100,000,000+ people.
I use "every two weeks" when speaking to people who are not British though, and it is likely a better choice here as an international list.
Still, it is not an arcane word and it solves this problem entirely :-)

While that is Old English, and still commonly used
in parts of the world and in some formal language
usage, most people just use the words "every two
weeks" rather than asking people to pull out their
OED.
