Adding English plural 's' in Admin is offensive and weakens credibility

[info@…]

The Admin interface adds a plural 's' to class names (e.g.) Poll --> Polls. This is all right if you use English class names. Since Django is used all over the planet this leads to offensive and ridiculous results and lessens the credibility of Django. Adding the plural 's' serves no useful purpose, but leads to problems in non English contexts, so this feature should be removed. -- Mika Nyman (Finland)

I'm not sure what a sensible alternative is - there are as many pluralisation schemes as there are languages. You can easily override this behavior with verbose_name/verbose_name_plural in the models META (see ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model_api/#verbose-name)

[James Bennett]

As per the documentation, Django uses either:

• The verbose_name_plural of the model, set by you in the inner Meta class, or
• An 's'.

To avoid the automatic 's', set verbose_name_plural.
