Most objects have a way of giving them a "label" attribute, or even a
"short_description" attribute. So, if you didn't want to go to the trouble
of internationalizing (i17ning?) your application, just use those idioms to
create visible names for your custom-created models and forms, etc.
To change the django-supplied names, then that should just be a matter of
switching the language in the settings.
If you want to change the "Django Administration" name to something app
specific, then I would supply a new admin/base_site.html template (copy the
one from django-source/contrib/admin/templates/admin, modify it, and put it
into a templates/admin folder in your own app)
