I have a model in model.py and I generate a model form in inventory_form.py.

A field is named watercourse in my model and the form field is labelled Watercourse.

model.py

class Inventory(models.Model):
    watercourse = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=False)

inventory_form.py

class InventoryModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Inventory
        fields = ['watercourse',]
        widgets = {
            'watercourse': forms.TextInput(attrs={
                'class': 'form-control',
                'placeholder': 'lorem ipsum',
            }),
        }

How do I change the label to Insert a watercourse?

Within the AuthorForm class you can set the labels attribute which is a dictionary maps field name to label. 

class InventoryModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Inventory
        fields = ['watercourse',]
        widgets = {
            'watercourse': forms.TextInput(attrs={
                'class': 'form-control',
                'placeholder': 'lorem ipsum',
            }),
        }
        labels = {
            'watercourse': 'Insert a watercourse',
        }

In forms.py try

labels = {
        'name': _('Writer'),
    }

you can do this:

class Meta:

labels = {
        'name': 'LabelName',
    }
