Comment:
Could this be re-investigated on the grounds that:
a) There's not much documentation on the verbose_name_plural setting (at
least none that's obvious under Model or admin).
b) Most frameworks tend to append ies instead of ys (CakePHP, Ruby etc) as
a matter of simplicity for the developer.
c) English is the de-facto standard, otherwise we wouldn't be using an
automatic plural 's' in the first place. Heck, the entire framework is
english based - may as well do it right.
d) Non-English speakers can utilise the verbose_name_plural if required.
e) Making the development process 'easier', and less trawling through
search engines, would certainly help the framework's credibility.
f) It will be harder to make a 'significant' change like this later -
better to do it before it's too late.
I respect the comment made by Adrian but it's more of a matter of
convenience than annoying non-english speakers (which can be covered in
point c).
As an interim solution, to save the average developer time finding the
'solution' to this problem, could verbose_name_plural be explained more
evidently in the documentation or by the manage scripts when creating new
models?
Would it be possible to have a more permanent fix in place, if my above
points are agreed to, before version 1.0 to limit future incompatability?
