Rails - Aug 2005 - Scaffold generator: How to make it use the correct table name?

The scaffold generator doesn''t play nicely with me. I have a model
class
Vertrag (contract) for which I''d like to generate a corresponding 
controller class named VertragController.

When I simply run

$ script/generate scaffold Vertrag Vertrag

the generator tries to access a table named "vertrags" which
doesn''t
exist; the correct name would be "vertraege". Incidentally,
that''s the
table name set in the Vertrag model class. The generator doesn''t use 
this, though, as it doesn''t know about the class. Instead it fakes an 
"empty" class of the same name.

So, let''s make the generator know about the real class

$ ruby -r config/environment.rb -r app/model/vertrag.rb \
script/generate scaffold Vertrag Vertrag

Duh, outsmarted again:

  The name ''Vertrag'' is reserved by Ruby on Rails.
  Please choose an alternative and run this generator again.

It''s the depended-upon model generator who complains when it''s
asked to
create a class that already exists. The :collision => :skip doesn''t 
help in this case, apparently.

Apart from moving to an english-speaking country, is there anything I 
can do about all this?
