On the Unified Translation Dashboard users can start a new translation and they are provided the option to search for a new article. There, a message is shown on empty states: initially, and when searching for an article title that produces zero results.
Currently, the message is not vertically centered and gives the impression that the panel over which it is displayed is too short for no apparent reason. The screenshots below compare current and proposed states:
| Current | Proposed |
|---|---|
 |  |
Note how the "Think of any topic..." message is vertically centered with the same portion of panel showing above and below it.
For reference, in the Old desktop dashboard, the UI is different but the message appears vertically aligned:
Derived Requirement
Ensure that in the Unified Translation Dashboard, the empty state message shown in the “New translation” search panel (when there are no results or before any search is performed) is vertically centered within the panel. The vertical padding above and below the message should be equal, providing a balanced and visually consistent layout.
