Yes. However, you need to make sure you copied the schema... So, you probably
start with BaseSchema or e.g. ATDocument.schema; you need to do:

mySchema = BaseSchema.copy() + Schema (( .... ))
mySchema['title'].widget.label = 'Organization'

The reason is that if you don't do copy(), because python stores the items of
dicts and lists by reference, you'll end up modifying the original schema, and
hence probably the titles of other portal types as well.

Has not, you mean?

The problem is that you're not using an ATContentType's schema as your base
schema. ATCT makes some assumption about what's in your schema, including a
relatedItems field, because that's the "plone standard", if you like. How to use
ATCT as your base (which is probably a good idea if you're making something
that's primarily first-order content, as opposed to components of a more custom
solution), look at http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/richdocument.
