title: How to programmatically get address placeholder text from iphone addressbook?
body: <p>I am trying to present a way for the user to enter addresses in a location based application, and I want it to look exactly like the address from the iPhone Contacts/Address Book.  This means that I need the placeholder text for each field to be updated according to the country selected.</p>
  
  <p>For example-</p>
  
  <p><em>United States</em> placeholders are:
  Street, City, <strong>State</strong>, <strong>ZIP</strong></p>
  
  <p><em>United Kingdom</em> placeholders are:
  Street, City, <strong>County</strong>, <strong>Post Code</strong></p>
  
  <p>I also have to make sure that the placeholders map to the correct field in code (i.e. that "County" maps to state and that "Post Code" maps to zip).  My current approach is very cumbersome: go through and select each country in a contact and copy the text by hand, then make sure the fields map correctly.</p>
  
  <p>Is there ANY programmatic way to do this?  Even if it is through a private API call, I only need to do it once to get the info, then I can remove the code.  I can't find anything in Apple's documentation to provide this type of information (ABAddressBook documentation).</p>
