An extension can have a display name. This name is defined in the description.xml. The name is optional. If it is provided then the Extension Manager will show it in the dialog, otherwise the file name will be displayed.

The display name is localized. The description.xml may provide additional names in different languages. The Extension Manager will then choose a language which matches most closely the locale of the office. How this exactly works is explained at Localized XML Elements.
