Let's say I have a Django app "users". The admin menu shows this as category "Users". That's ok, but if the website users speak another language I want this name translated. Also I'm not necessarily using "Users" as name in the admin menu as section name, but can use something more descriptive. "Website Users", as example.

The Django administration site comes with a couple of default entries, depending on which apps and middleware is installed.
Usually there is at least "Users" and "Groups", and if the quite common "allauth" is installed, then there is also "Site", "SocialApp", "SocialAccount", and "SocialToken". They are not always necessary, especially when no Social Login is used. Or why have the "Site" administration when only Site=1 is used?
With a few tricks these can be removed from the admin menu.

The Django Web Framework makes it quite easy to add new referenced objects in the admin menu.
Let's say the model has two foreign keys in it:
class TeamMember(models.Model):
team = models.ForeignKey(Team, on_delete=models.CASCADE, verbose_name=_("Team"))
user = models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, on_delete=models.CASCADE, verbose_name=_("User"))
And the admin form:
class TeamMemberForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = TeamMember
class CustomTeamMemberAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = TeamMemberForm
add_form = TeamMemberForm
model = TeamMember
fieldsets = [
(None, {'fields': ['team', 'user']}),
]
admin.site.register(TeamMember, CustomTeamMemberAdmin)
Then Django will show small a small green "
" sign next to the fields:
