Answer 2

you can pass the "name" of a field as the first parameter like this:

class Event(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField('name', max_length=50, unique=True)
    start = models.DateTimeField('start')
    end = models.DateTimeField('end')
    ressource = models.ForeignKey(Resource, related_name='events')

if you want to i18n that you just use the gettext-lib from django like this:

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

class Event(models.Model):

name = models.CharField(_('name'), max_length=50, unique=True)
start = models.DateTimeField(_('start'))
end = models.DateTimeField(_('end'))
ressource = models.ForeignKey(Resource, related_name='events')
