ContentTypes and Permissions mix English with other languages in __str__

[Meiyer]

The string representation of django.contrib.contenttypes.models.ContentType and django.contrib.auth.models.Permission was changed in commit ​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.

Hey! I'm going to work on it.

OK, this seems reasonable to at least look at fixing.

Is ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/15573 related? (It looks like it, but there's no ticket assigned yet, and no tests.)

I'm not quite sure how and where to add tests for this patch. Could you give me some direction, @Carlton Gibson?
