We are using Internationalization Labels as described here: ZKDeveloper'sReference/Internationalization/Labels.

When label's key contains reserved word or operator, e.g. "my-super.app.value1" or "mySuper.app.title.new", label's value can not be read with simplest approach suggested, "${labels.my-super.app.value1}" just does not work. EL thinks there is an expression: my - super == 0

There is a second approach suggested:

If the key is not a legal name, you could use labels['key'] to access, such as labels['foo-yet']

But it does not work either, because expression "${labels['my-super.app.value1']}" is mapped to call "Labels.getSegmentedLabels()", so, the correct call would be like this:

"${labels['my-super']['app']['value1']}"

This form is too complicated. Yes we know we can use

"${c:l('my-super.app.value1')}"

but we think

1. expression ${labels.my-super.app.value1} is more clear and readable
2. At least, documentation ZKDeveloper'sReference/Internationalization/Labels shall describe this issue in a more clear way
