Renaming the descriptions would indeed be a quick (and dirty) solution. 
Yet, this will have the drawback that you cannot update the extension 
anymore (your changes would be overwritten by the update).

A less dirty solution would be to change the FE labels only (using TS 
setup).

The best solution would be to add these fields to the DB and provide a 
patch so that I can integrate these changes into the official version. 
This will provide the following benefits:

- You will not lose the other fields which you would otherwise overwrite.
- The BE and FE field descriptions match.
- Updating the extension will be no problem (starting with the version 
that has you changes).
- Other users who might need these fields as well wouldn't need to do 
the same work again.
- And you will be credited in the manual. :-)


Best regards,


Oliver
