Comment (by aristath):

 The post-type label itself is translatable... Just not in the theme
 itself. I'll use WooCommerce products for this example but the same goes
 for any plugin that registers a post-type.
 If WooCommerce registers the `product` post-type then the label for that
 post-type is translatable in WooCommerce since it gets added with a label
 `__( 'Products', 'woocommerce' )`.
 So the theme just re-uses the label registered. If that label is
 translated then it will show as translated.
 The fact that the post-type label is untranslatable ''in the theme''
 doesn't mean that the post-type label is untranslatable... It just needs
 to be translated in the plugin that adds it.
