locale can't be changed

I'm trying to change Locale using primefaces in vain, here's my bean code :

// more imports here
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class DateBean implements Serializable{
  private Date startDate, endDate;

  private Locale locale = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getLocale();

  public void setLocale(Locale locale) {
    this.locale = locale;
  }

  public Locale getLocale(){
    return locale;
   }

 public void changeLocale(String loc){
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    locale = new Locale(loc);
    context.getViewRoot().setLocale(locale);
 }
}

facelet : 

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"     
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"  xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui" 
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">
 <f:view locale="#{dateBean.locale}">
 <h:head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
 <title>Insert title here</title>
 <h:outputScript library="scripts" name="#{dateBean.locale}.js"></h:outputScript>
 </h:head>
 <h:body>
 <h:form>              
  <p:commandButton value="de" action="#{dateBean.changeLocale('de')}" >
     <p:ajax update="@form" process="@form"></p:ajax>
 </p:commandButton>  
 <p:calendar id="cc" value="#{dateBean.startDate}" required="true" showOn="both"  
 requiredMessage="Start date required"/>
 <p:message for="cc"></p:message>
 </h:form>
 </h:body>
 </f:view>
 </html>

Calendar locale does not change to deutsch when i click on the locale button, and i got no exception . However it's like a breeze doing this task using old JSF2.* CommandButton component this way :

 <h:commandButton value="portugal" action="#{dateBean.changeLocale('pt')}" >
  <f:ajax render="@form"></f:ajax>
 </h:commandButton>

May you guys help me figure it out please ?

Primefaces library doesn't provide German translation for its components. You need to download the javascript piece and attach it to your code. Then, make the calendar use the locale you want. Take a look at this site and here you have more info about your issue.

You also are including a Javascript file depending on your locale (<h:outputScript library="scripts" name="#{dateBean.locale}.js">) that makes the javascript file to be included dinamically depending on your locale. Since you're only refreshing the h:form part with your ajax request, you could get in trouble with that, since this tag is rendered with the whole view, so your translation file is not available for your locale at the moment. Appropiate solution: just include all the javascript files you need since the begining.
