Override Primefaces Messages in custom properties file

Question

I want to override some PrimeFaces defaults.

According to this link PrimeFaces default messages.properties I wrote a custom message properties:

primefaces.captcha.INVALID = {0}: Erro de Valida\u00e7\u00e3o: Valor inv\u00e1lido.
primefaces.captcha.INVALID_detail = {0}: ''{1}'' n\u00e3o confere com o texto exibido.
primefaces.password.INVALID_MATCH = {0}: Erro de Valida\u00e7\u00e3o: Valor inv\u00e1lido.
primefaces.password.INVALID_MATCH_detail = {0} deve ser igual a {1}.

How can I override some features like weekLabel, goodLabel, strongLabel in the password for example?

I'd like to know what properties keys I should use.

Yes. All I found is [link](http://www.primefaces.org/docs/api/3.5/) — Jonathas Pacífico, May 17 '13 at 15:38
What about [PF 3.5 User Guide](http://primefaces.googlecode.com/files/indexed_primefaces_users_guide_3_5.pdf)? — Luiggi Mendoza, May 17 '13 at 16:13
I've searched there also. The only thing it states is that we can provide custom labels like: — Jonathas Pacífico, May 17 '13 at 16:25

Those labels are not part of conversion/validation messages. Those labels are part of pure text presentation. You need to supply them yourself via standard JSF resource bundle mechanism.

E.g. com.example.i18n.text.properties:

primefaces.password.weakLabel = Zayıf
primefaces.password.goodLabel = Orta seviye
primefaces.password.strongLabel = Güçlü

which is configured in faces-config.xml as follows:

<resource-bundle>
    <base-name>com.example.i18n.text</base-name>
    <var>text</var>
</resource-bundle>

and used in the view as follows:

weakLabel="#{text['primefaces.password.weakLabel']}"
goodLabel="#{text['primefaces.password.goodLabel']}"
strongLabel="#{text['primefaces.password.strongLabel']}"

I already did that, but I'm trying to avoid that using something **automatic**. — Jonathas Pacífico, May 20 '13 at 11:23
