When trying to correct the translation for OPAC problem reports, I noticed that
in some cases, the word "New" alone is used as "Add a new thing" (action/verb)
and in other cases, it is used as "This thing is new" (status/adjective).

Currently, the word "New" alone is used in these places

As "Add a new thing" (action/verb)

Not sure?

I wonder if the solution here is to add translation context, or to change the
word to "Add" or "Add new" where it is used as "Add a new thing". 

In French, the gender of "New" as an adjective should also change depending on
the gender of the thing that is new, so in the context, it should say what
thing is new.
