26978	Improve the message attached to the 404 raised by get_object_or_404 and get_list_or_404	Joachim Jablon		"
== 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 or a feature...)
