This should be fairly easy to extend to a 1,2,3,4,... case; in your dolphin case, something like delfin{{ num_delfinov|pluralize:",a,i,ov"}}
(excuse my Slovenian if I've messed up your example :-)
I would have little hesitation adding this change if you were to make a patch for it; it's simple to explain, doesn't hurt the existing English use cases, and covers a little more pluralization ground. Make sure the patch has test cases and some documentation and it should get committed fairly quickly.
As for process; open an enhancement ticket asking for Slovenian pluralization support, and add a patch. Details here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/contributing/

I'm currently developing my first app on Django, and it happens to be
in Slovenia, land in which the beautiful Slovenian language is spoken.
In this language, the rules of pluralization go very crazy, as the
following example (for the word for 'dolphin') shows:
0 delfinov
1 delfin
2 delfina
3 delfini
3 delfini
5 delfinov
So, as you can see, the template tag pluralize falls a little short,
when it faces ancient, little crazy Slavic languages such as this :-)
How would a newbie to both Python and Django such as me be able to
extend pluralize? Has anyone already faced this?
