Research direction

The wording comes from the app's string resources, so search the Kotlin/Android project for the Import contacts title and the target contact source label used in the address-book picker dialog. Check whether the translated string files need the same change or only the English default. Done when the dialog title and field label read as a destination (for example, choosing where to import) rather than a source.

Feature description

Hi,
If you import contacts on Fossify Contacts

  1. Settings
  2. Import contacts from vcf
  3. select the file to import

Now a dialog appears to select in which address book you want the contacts to be imported.

It states:

title: Import contacts
field's title: target contact source

But source means where something comes from, the origin, and not the destination. So it seems that it is asking where the contact was.
Isn't it misleading?

possible solution

Title: import contacts to
Field's title: select / choose address book

Why do you want this feature?

Dialog should be more clear
