pluralize table names in non-english language with entity framework 5

Question

Using asp .net mvc4, I want to have all my tables, views, controllers named in Italian language. Using EF 5 Code First I get table names pluralized with english language rules, and this is bad.

Is there any place where to code custom inflection rules? I usually use Ruby on Rails for web applications, which has a very nice way to deal with this issue. Is there any similar feature in Entity Framework 5?

Using DataAnnotation is the answer I was looking for. I don't want to disable pluralization, just be able to override it when i need. – kranz Apr 29 '13 at 19:47
