Here is an example of an RSS feed:

Check

After setting up the XML feed you can put it online and check it as follows:

Go to the Feed validator
Enter the feed URL and press 'Validate feed'
Check the response and modify the XML Feed if necessary

Languages

When products are offered in multiple languages, you have two options:

Upload a separate file per language. This is usually the most structured solution.
Use multiple languages in one file, by using the "language" attribute in combination with an ISO country code, for example nl-nl.

In the last scenario you can choose to only include non-language fields for one language, or repeat them for each language. Important is that in both scenarios the product IDs have to match per language.
