== The problem : ==
If no object is returned by get_object_or_404 and get_list_or_404, they
raise an Http404 error for which the error message contains the
{{{model._meta.object_name}}}. This name should not really be shown to the
user within the normal workflow. Classes have a {{{ verbose_name }}} that
is more appropriate.
Moreover, this message should be translatable.
(not sure if it's really a bug report or a feature request...)
