Is it possible to change the model name in the django admin site?

Question

I am translating a django app and I would like to translate also the homepage of the django admin site.

On this page are listed the application names and the model

Answer 1

You should use the ugettext_lazy util in the Meta of all your models

from django.db import models
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

class Book(models.Model):
    ...

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = _("My Book")
        verbose_name_plural = _("My Books")

Answer 2

Look at the Meta options verbose_name and verbose_name_plural, both of which are translatable.
