Description
Problem when creating a new contact
During our user testing we noticed people struggled to find the input field for their name when creating a new contact. Assumption: The palceholder „New Contact“ is confusing as it looks like a label/heading and less like an input field.
Proposal
To make clear it is a placeholder we'd like to be able to change the placeholder text. Right now it seems like the text of the button and the placeholder are the same → „New contact“: https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/blob/master/l10n/de.js We´ve been using Transifex to improve some translations. Therefore it would be great if you could define the button and placeholder as two separate items.
Extra question
Where can I find the transifex translation for „Close navigation“ for apps like Talk or contacts?

Research direction
Start by inspecting l10n/de.js and the contact-creation UI code that uses the “New Contact” button and placeholder text. Separate the two user-facing strings so they become distinct Transifex translation items, then verify that the button and placeholder can receive different translations.
