Steps to Reproduce

1. Create custom object type
2. Create with name that is already plural, but leave "readable plural name" blank

Expected Behavior

Detecting if object type name is plural and not include the extra "s" ?

Observed Behavior

Extra "s" for object type names that already end with an "s"

I get the idea, but auto-detection of pluralisation is a tricky one even in English. We also support internationalization now.

Examples:

Language	Singular	Plural	Notes
English	child	children	Irregular -en ending
English	ox	oxen	Archaic -en ending
English	man	men	Vowel change
English	mouse	mice	Vowel change
English	tooth	teeth	Vowel change
English	goose	geese	Vowel change
English	sheep	sheep	No change (invariable plural)
English	cactus	cacti	Latin-origin plural
English	analysis	analyses	Greek-origin plural
French	chat	chats	Regular +s
French	maison	maisons	Regular +s
French	bateau	bateaux	Words ending in -eau take +x
French	jeu	jeux	Words ending in -eu take +x
French	nez	nez	Invariable plural
French	prix	prix	Invariable plural
French	cheval	chevaux	Changes -al to -aux
Dutch	kind	kinderen	Irregular -eren suffix
Dutch	stad	steden	Vowel change + -en
Dutch	tafel	tafels	Regular +s

That's three of the easiest languages and it just gets harder from there. I believe we can only reasonably rely on the user to make these decisions.
