Django verbose_name of reverse relation

Question

I have a model like:

class Question(models.Model):
    ...

class Answer(models.Model):
    question = models.ForeignKey(
        Question, null=False, blank=False, on_delete=models.CASCADE,
        related_name='answers',
        verbose_name='translated name'
)

I would now like to use the verbose_name in a template (as it is translated) over the reverse relation like

{{ question.answers.verbose_name }}. Unfortunately this does not work.

On the other hand {{ question.answers.related_name }} works.

So it seems that in the reverse_relation only the related_name is available.

Is there any way to get the verbose_name from the reverse relation?

No verbose name is just to make the model name more readable. They are used if you want to make your model attribute more readable.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/models/fields/#verbose-name

A human-readable name for the field. If the verbose name isn’t given, Django will automatically create it using the field’s attribute name, converting underscores to spaces. See Verbose field names.
