Is RFC-822 English only?


I'm trying to validate an rss feed and I get an error saying "pubDate must be an RFC-822 date-time".

The date is in Turkish Sal, 07 Nis 2020 00:05:11 +0000.

If switched to English it validates. But it's a Turkish site...

I haven't been able to find any documentation saying RFC-822 is English only, but nothing with language information either.


Solution

  • It's intended for consumption by computers more than humans, but the tokens used in RFC-822 do correspond to English month and day names.
