The string representation of
`django.contrib.contenttypes.models.ContentType` and
`django.contrib.auth.models.Permission` was changed in commit
[https://github.com/django/django/commit/48c17807a99f7a4341c74db19e16a37b010827c2
48c17807] to solve #16027. However, the `__str__` function mixes the
model’s `app_label` (which is not localized) with the model’s
`verbose_name` (which is localized). This results in weirdly looking
strings, part of which is in English and part in a different language, and
maybe even different alphabet.
The comment https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16027#comment:21 does
not clarify why the application’s `app_label` was chosen and not
`verbose_name` (via
`self._meta.apps.get_app_config(self.app_label).verbose_name`). In my
opinion, either the whole of the ContentType’s representation should use
localized labels or none of them should be localized.
