How to edit Field Titles?

Okay - I may be an idiot but, I'm trying to satisfy a client...

And they have insisted that instead of displaying "Address 1" and "Address 2" on the "Your account details - Add/Edit billing address information" page, they want "Credit Card Billing Address 1" and "Credit Card Billing Address 2" since their customers are putting in their company address instead of the billing address for the credit card.

My problem is, how do I do this? When I go to Components - VirtueMart - Admin - Configuration - Shopper Fields and click on Address 1 - it seems to have a variable name in there and I can't discover a way to edit the Field Title.

Thanks!

You change the labels and other language elements in the relevant language.ini files

The specific one you are looking for is:-

languages/en-gb/en-gb.com_virtuemart.ini

There are of course others for VM as well that you may want to change in the future

Changing the text used is really easy using language overrides.  http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=113895.0

I am steadily building standard en-GB.override.ini language files for my sites, converting the Germlish text into British English - but this is on hold ATM as there are some additional strings in VM2.0.21
