+### Automatic column header translation
+
+You can also use i18n resource keys with DataColumn `title` property.
+The component will automatically check the corresponding i18n resources and fetch corresponding value.
+
+```html
+<data-column
+    key="name"
+    title="MY.RESOURCE.KEY">
+</data-column>
+```
+
+This feature is optional. Regular text either plain or converted via the `translate` pipe will still be working as it was before.
+
 ### Custom Empty content template
 
 You can add a template that will be shown when there are no results in your datatable:
