verbose_name_plural and internationalization

[Vitek]

In Czech (Polish, Russian etc..) are more than 2 forms. In English: 1 object, 2+ objects. We have: 1 objekt; 2-4 objekty; 0, 5+ objektů.
So if I define verbose_name and verbose_name_plural, translation in Admin interface under list of objects and other places, where i wont use it, is not correct.
Maybe there is a way to use ngettext (optional, for i18n sites) for verbose_name_plural, but i didn't found this.

We never put a numeric quantifier in front of the verbose_name_plural string when it is used in Django. So the multiple plural forms are not required.

Translators should just use whichever plural form they would normally used for a generic number of items (i.e. use the form you would use for "cars" in the sentence "All cars go through here" -- notice that we use the plural of car without a number).

I would reopen this. The reasons for closing are kind of absurd (consider a similat statement: we don't use annotations in our contrib packages, so we should ex the QuerySet.annotate method: huh?).

Aside form that, it simplifies application code: verbose_name and verbose_name_plural are collapsed into just verbose_name.
