Improve the message attached to the 404 raised by get_object_or_404 and get_list_or_404 — at Version 1

Description (last modified by 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 report or a feature request...)
