title: Django internationalization for admin pages - translate model name and attributes
body: <p>Django's internationalization is very nice (gettext based, LocaleMiddleware), but what is the proper way to translate the model name and the attributes for admin pages? I did not find anything about this in the documentation:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/internationalization/" rel="noreferrer">http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/internationalization/</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter19/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter19/</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I would like to have "Выберите заказ для изменения" instead of "Выберите order для изменения". Note, the 'order' is not translated.</p>
  
  <p>First, I defined a model, activated <code>USE_I18N = True</code> in settings.py, run <code>django-admin makemessages -l ru</code>. No entries are created by default for model names and attributes.</p>
  
  <p>Grepping in the Django source code I found:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ack "Select %s to change"
  contrib/admin/views/main.py
  70:        self.title = (self.is_popup and ugettext('Select %s') % force_unicode(self.opts.verbose_name) or ugettext('Select %s to change') % force_unicode(self.opts.verbose_name))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So the <code>verbose_name</code> meta property seems to play some role here. Tried to use it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Order(models.Model):
      subject = models.CharField(max_length=150)
      description = models.TextField()
      class Meta:
          verbose_name = _('order')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now the updated <code>po</code> file contains <code>msgid 'order'</code> that can be translated. So I put the translation in. Unfortunately running the admin pages show the same mix of "Выберите order для изменения".</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently using Django 1.1.1.
  Could somebody point me to the relevant documentation? Because google can not. ;-) In the mean time I'll dig deeper into the django source code...</p>
