MatPaginator template internationalization

[maksymzav]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Feature request

What is the expected behavior?

Provide a possibility to specify MatPaginator labels (Items per page, next page, previous page) in a template, like we do in almost all existing Angular Material components. It will allow us to use Angular i18n for labels internationalization, and simplify work with paginator.

What is the current behavior?

Currently according to documentation we need to provide MatPaginatorInt instance, specifying labels in this instance. But Angular i18n doesn't support code/runtime translations, so we need to use an additional internationalization tool to get translations for MatPaginator.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

I published an article about this:

@kklimczak Your article covers usage with ngx-translate, which allows translated strings to be fetched in code. Angular's internal i18n library does not support this.

@meoblast001 That's a fact, so I mentioned this in the title of the article. :)

Here is the way to translate the strings from mat-paginator in i18n way:
