List view new record category label name TYPO3

I create some custom content elements with tt_content, typoscript and tsconfig etc. in a config extension. All works nice.

When changing to list view my custom content element gets listed under 'pen', which seems to be derived from either the extensionname or a table.

How can I set this name? See image.

You're right that the shown text depends on the table indirectly. Here is the essential code shown how the name is determined depending on the table-configuration in TCA:

$temp = explode(':', substr($v['ctrl']['title'], 9 + strlen($_EXTKEY)));
$langFile = $temp[0];
$thisTitle = $lang->sL('LLL:EXT:' . $_EXTKEY . '/' . $langFile . ':extension.title');

This snippet is copied from the file typo3/sysext/backend/Classes/Controller/NewRecordController.php in the method renderNewRecordControls(). So in the end the text is determined in the language file(s) of your extension.
