Easy rename of apps in admin

[aatanasov+django@…]

usage:

from django.contrib.admin.util import AppLabel
class Meta:
    app_label = AppLabel('app_label','Title in admin')

[aatanasov+django@…]

patch which adds AppLabel to admin used to display app_label in a friendly way

Closing as a duplicate of #3591. The bigger issue here is app configuration; renaming the app in the admin is just one part of a bigger problem.

I should also add -- #3591 was the subject of a Google Summer of Code project last year, and there's lots of interest in getting that work integrated into trunk in the 1.4 timeframe.

I've looked at #3591 before posting this. It's there since 4 years, patch changes a lot of code and tries to solve two problems at once:

• app paths
• give apps names

i've tried to solve only the second, minimal changes which are backwards compatible.
result is more like #10436 but with less changes

AppLabel('app_label',_('Translate me'))
