tl;dr: For menus in particular, not easily.

I'm not sure what you're referring to when it comes to GetEntityClassname, but there's two options for item names:

• TF2Econ_GetItemName returns the non-localized item name. It's limited to English-only, and the non-localized item name may not match the English-localized one (it still refers to "The Huo Long Heatmaker" internally instead of "Huo-Long Heater", among other ones).
• TF2Econ_GetLocalizedItemName returns a #token string. You can probably use it in a few things with Powerlord's PrintValveTranslation functions, but from what I recall (and have tried, since I quickly prototyped my own taunt menu while I was writing this library), it doesn't support menus. For localizing menus, you'll need to translate them server-side, either by maintaining an SQLite database like TF2IDB, creating your own translation file, or internally parsing the translation files.

Might have to make my next project a threaded lazy localization parser extension as another choice.
