Change the Locale and Language of the Bootfaces DataTable

Question

I want to change the language of the elements of the BootsFaces b:dataTable.

(ex: entries => entradas, next=>siguiente),

Does anyone know how to do this?

As Bonifacio mentioned, the DataTable widget of BootsFaces 0.8.x is still in its infancy. Currently, we're working hard to bring you all the features you need - internationalization included. Maybe you want to watch the discussion on our bug tracker (https://github.com/TheCoder4eu/BootsFaces-OSP/issues/301).

By the way, it's surprisingly simple to replace the BootsFaces dataTable by standard JSF 2.x code and a few lines of JavaScript:

<h:dataTable value="{{carPool.carPool}}" var="car" id="carPool" styleClass="table table-striped table-bordered"
  style="width:100%">
  <h:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
      <h:outputText value="Brand" />
    </f:facet>
    <h:outputText value="#{car.brand}" />
  </h:column>
  <h:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
      <h:outputText value="Type" />
    </f:facet>
    <h:inputText value="#{car.type}" />
  </h:column>
</h:dataTable>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#carPool').DataTable({
   "language": {
       "url": "//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.10.10/i18n/Spanish.json"
   }
 });
} );
</script>

I did this in the most examples of http://www.bootsfaces.net/forms/DataTable.jsf. You'll find the source code here: pure HTML and JSF 2.x. As a third alternative, you can construct the HTML code using ui:repeat.
