At the moment when there is one item the line reads: "These are 1 step "

I'm not a Django expert, so anyone who knows more than I do should feel free to contribute here as well, but blocktrans has one of the best examples I personally know of for doing something like what you're asking in a Django context. It has some aspects of a conditional, but is fairly concise:
{% blocktrans count counter=list|length %}
There is only one {{ name }} object.
{% plural %}
There are {{ counter }} {{ name }} objects.
{% endblocktrans %}
I hope this is helpful! Certainly more helpful than my misreading the question, I'm sure :)

19,141 PointsNo worries - I updated my answer to specifically address Django template tags. It's entirely possible that there's a better way I don't know about though, so I'm interested to see if any other answers pop up. :)

6,880 PointsThanks Katie!
That works a treat. Apologies, my question was worded poorly :)
I was wondering on context to django template tags.

19,141 PointsI noticed that right before seeing your response - that's not your fault at all. I paid too much attention to "Python" and the question text and not enough to the actual title, which was a silly mistake. I'm updating the answer in a Django context - sorry about that!
