You can do:
db.define_table('locations', ..., singular='Location', plural='Locations')
or as Jim suggests:
db.locations._singular = 'Location'
db.locations._plural = 'Locations'
I think the automatic pluralizer assumes the table name is singular. Maybe
it should first try to assess whether the table name is already plural --
could be a bit tricky, though.
