Bug: the phrase «start typing to search template» on admin product page is untranslatable (and my fix)

The bug is very similar to 87.
The problem line is

magento/magento2/blob/daf301d625d8652996a6d3c9400e5f9816184bde/app/code/Magento/Catalog/view/adminhtml/templates/catalog/product/edit.phtml#L24


?>
<div class="admin__scope-old">
<div class="product-actions">
    <div id="product-template-suggest-container" class="suggest-expandable">
        <div class="action-dropdown">
            <button type="button" class="action-toggle" data-mage-init='{"dropdown":{}}' data-toggle="dropdown">
                <span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $block->getAttributeSetName()?></span>
            </button>
            <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                <li><input type="text" id="product-template-suggest" class="search"
                       placeholder="start typing to search template"/></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>


    <div class="switcher" onselectstart='return false;'>
        <input type="checkbox" id="product-online-switcher" name="product-online-switcher" />
        <label class="switcher-label"
               for="product-online-switcher"
               data-text-on="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('Product online'); ?>"
               data-text-off="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('Product offline'); ?>"

As you can see it does not use any form of translation.
The fix is simple; replace the problem line with the new one:

placeholder="<?php echo __('start typing to search template'); ?>"/></li>
