Hi,
In the .properties file of your page (or component) you can add:
user_username=Username
...
and the table headers will automatically become the human-readable strings
that you have defined there.
In addition, there can be several .properties files that depend on the
locale in the standard way, e.g. page_zh.properties would contain the
chinese messages.
Does this work as desired?
