How to rename default posts-type Posts

by

I’m using the posts-type Posts to display portfolio items and it looks strange to have portfolio labeled as posts. Is there any way to rename Posts to Portfolio instead to better reflect it’s usage.

I used the following script to rename the default post type:

function change_post_menu_label() {
    global $menu, $submenu;

    $menu[5][0] = 'Portfolio';
    $submenu['edit.php'][5][0] = 'Portfolio';
    $submenu['edit.php'][10][0] = 'New Portfolio';
    $submenu['edit.php'][16][0] = 'Portfolio Tags';
    echo '';
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'change_post_menu_label' );

function change_post_object_label() {
    global $wp_post_types;

    $labels = &$wp_post_types['post']->labels;
    $labels->name="Portfolio";
    $labels->singular_name="Portfolio";
    $labels->add_new = 'New Portfolio';
    $labels->add_new_item = 'New Portfolio';
    $labels->edit_item = 'Edit Portfolio';
    $labels->new_item = 'New Portfolio';
    $labels->view_item = 'View Portfolio';
    $labels->search_items="Search Portfolio";
    $labels->not_found = 'Not found';
    $labels->not_found_in_trash="Not found in trash";
}
add_action( 'init', 'change_post_object_label' );
