Ok, thanks Nicolas, that makes sense
I'm still having a little trouble though. Having hopefully understood correctly, I've adjusted the field title, and added the line to the Language Override, but the front end is displaying the title I created rather than the override. I imagine I'm doing something wrong that's very basic; could you help educate this simpleton?
I've attached a screenshot of the Custom Field screen, and the line I've added to the Lang Override is as follows (note I've pinched the code from the 'checkout terms and conditions' pop up link that seems to work nicely; hoping it'll work just as well here too).
TITLE_TERMSLINK="Please accept the <a href="/test/index.php/component/content/article?id=44&tmpl=component" class="modal" rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 450, y: 480}}" target="_blank">terms and conditions</a> before proceeding."
