 * Using 1.5-gamma 2005-02-03.
 * I have made my own MO-file for localizing dates and few other things. But it 
   seem to translate the item’s pubDate into local.
 * The second error I can’t figure out, is it the ™ that makes it fail?

 * If you read the feed validation page and click on “help” next to the error involving
   the date you’ll see that it is indeed the localization of the day that’s causing
   the problem. The only allowed possibilities are Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri,
   Sat.
 * As for the trademark symbol, you might try using the Unicode markup instead of
   ™. The Unicode is: ™ (according to [http://www.natural-innovations.com/wa/doc-charset.html](http://www.natural-innovations.com/wa/doc-charset.html),
   although it also lists ™). I supposed it’s possible to modify your original post
   to change it to the Unicode.

 * Spectacular. OK, here’s the Unicode: #8482
    When you want to use it, surround
   it with & and ;

 * Thanks for the unicode tip.
 * But still I wonder what happens with the item’s pubDate. As you see, the first
   pubDate that occurs within the <channel> is correct, but they all get localized
   within the <item>.
 * In wp-rss2.php, the difference between the call on mysql2date is the second parameter.
   Is get_the_time result localized? Or maybe it’s the foreach loop with the call
   on start_wp() that makes it localized? And isn’t start_wp deprecated?
