Change navigation label for model in RailsAdmin

How to change navigation label in rails_admin?

Here is app/models/admin.rb:

module Admin
  def self.table_name_prefix
    'admin_'
  end
end

and app/models/admin/seo.rb:

class Admin::Seo < ActiveRecord::Base

end

I'd like to change the Rails Admin navigation label of the Admin::Sea model to "Admin".

I tried the following in config/locales/ru.yml:

activerecord:
    models:
      admin:
        one: test
        other: test1
      admin/seo:
        one: SEO - данные
        other: SEO - данные

Also I tried in config/initializers/rails_admin.rb:

config.model Admin do
   label 'test1'
   label_plural 'test1'
   navigation_label 'test1'
end

In my project it works like this

activerecord:
  models:
    admin/seo:
      one: SEO - данные
      other: SEO - данные

And you would not need your initializer.
Also it should be ru.yml not en.yml because it translation for Russian language so it must be used only for Russian locale.

UPDATE 1

I found some answer but I am not sure it is the best one (but it works)

class Admin::Seo < ActiveRecord::Base
  rails_admin do
    navigation_label I18n.t('your.translation.path.here')
  end
end

You can also put this code inside initializer not model (it is up to you).

You can see here how rails_admin generates this sidebar.
So each model should have navigation_label or it would be default t('admin.misc.navigation').

UPDATE 2

You can set navigation_label for all the models during initialization like this

# config/environment.rb
...

RailsAdmin::Config.models.each do |model|
  if model.abstract_model.model_name.starts_with? 'Admin::'
    model.navigation_label I18n.t('your.translation.path.here')
  end
end

This will split all models with Admin namespace and other models into two separate menus in sidebar.
The code is placed in environment.rb because translations are not available in initializers/*.rb.
