RichFaces API on <rich:inputNumberSlider> says:

The “label” attribute is a generic attribute. The “label” attribute
provides an association between the component and the message that the
component (indirectly) produced. This attribute defines the parameters
of a localized error and informational messages that occur as a result
of conversion, validation, or other application actions during the
request processing lifecycle. With the help of this attribute you can
replace the last parameter substitution token shown in the messages.
For example, {1} for “DoubleRangeValidator.MAXIMUM” , {2} for
“ShortConverter.SHORT”.

In short – label is used in all components as a parameter for jsf messages.

I have looked into richfaces sources for <rich:inputNumberSlider> ui javascript. It is possible to change javascript in certain places, adding hardcoded ‘Days’ string. To achieve this I can’t think of any other options than recompiling the sources.

I suggest specifying somewhere else, that this slider measures days.
