Should we have a

Table.label_singlar
Table.label_plural

?

[Anthony]

Is the idea to use singular for create/view/edit and plural for the grid?

[Massimo Di Pierro]

yes/ rails that that.

That is something I have wished for from time to time if I understand correctly? I think if something like the following labels worked it should work in all cases and in any language...

data
data

group
groups

goose
flock

Sounds good.

[Massimo Di Pierro]

table._singular

table._plural

or

table._label_singular

table._label_plural

or other?

[Anthony]

I don't feel strongly, but I think the latter -- it's longer but seems more clear.

How about the _. We have a policy that we do not want name conflict with possible field names but I always feel the underscore is horrible.

Should we have something like

table.META.xyz -> table._xyz

to make the syntax more clear. Does not have to be called "META", can be "ATTRIBUTES". could be lower case. or better should be a word that is not a python keyword but it is a reserved SQL keyword so it cannot be a field.
