Essentially, this is a result of the .NET Framework representation of the Boolean structure. Based on the underlying value, the Boolean.ToString() method returns the TrueString or FalseString static readonly values. For more information, read this MSDN article:

The only suggestion I would make is to specify a choices list for the field in the LightSwitch Entity Designer. You could specify the desired culture-specific values for "True" and "False".

In the table use choice list for boolean field:

Value - Display Name:
True - Verdadero
False - False
