First of all  you should add templates admin base site html to your project  This file can safely be overwritten since it   s a file that the Django devs have intended for the exact purpose of customizing your admin site a bit  Here   s an example of what to put in the file      extends  admin base html        load i18n        block title      title         trans  Some Organisation       endblock        block branding     lt style type  text css  gt     header            your style here         lt  style gt   lt h1 id  site-name  gt    trans  Organisation Website     lt  h1 gt     endblock        block nav-global      endblock      This is common practice  But I noticed after this that I was still left with an annoying    Site Administration    on the main admin index page  And this string was not inside any of the templates  but rather set inside the admin view  Luckily it   s quite easy to change  Assuming your language is set to English  run the following commands from your project directory     mkdir locale     manage py makemessages -l en   Now open up the file locale en LC MESSAGES django po and add two lines after the header information  the last two lines of this example    Project-Id-Version  PACKAGE VERSION n   Report-Msgid-Bugs-To   n   POT-Creation-Date  2010-04-03 03 25 0200 n   PO-Revision-Date  YEAR-MO-DA HO MI ZONE n   Last-Translator  FULL NAME  lt EMAIL ADDRESS gt  n   Language-Team  LANGUAGE  lt LL li org gt  n   MIME-Version  1 0 n   Content-Type  text plain  charset UTF-8 n   Content-Transfer-Encoding  8bit n   msgid  Site administration  msgstr  Main administration index    After this  remember to run the following command and reload your project   s server       manage py compilemessages   source  http   overtag dk wordpress 2010 04 changing-the-django-admin-site-title

As you can see in the templates  the text is delivered via the localization framework  note the use of the trans template tag   You can make changes to the translation files to override the text without making your own copy of the templates   mkdir locale    manage py makemessages  Edit locale en LC MESSAGES django po  adding these lines  msgid  quot Django site admin quot  msgstr  quot MySite site admin quot   msgid  quot Django administration quot  msgstr  quot MySite administration quot      manage py compilemessages   See https   docs djangoproject com en 1 3 topics i18n localization  message-files

There are two methods to do this  1  By overriding base site html in django contrib admin templates admin base site html  Following is the content of base site html     extends  quot admin base html quot         block title      title         site title default    Django site admin        endblock        block branding     lt h1 id  quot site-name quot  gt  lt a href  quot    url  admin index     quot  gt    site header default    Django administration      lt  a gt  lt  h1 gt     endblock        block nav-global      endblock     Edit the site title  amp  site header in the above code snippet  This method works but it is not recommendable since its a static change  2  By adding following lines in urls py of project s directory  admin site site header    quot AppHeader quot  admin site site title    quot AppTitle quot  admin site index title    quot IndexTitle quot  admin site site url    quot Url for view site button quot   This method is recommended one since we can change the site-header  site-title  amp  index-title without editing base site html
