When using this module to create a name field on a content-type the field descriptions (which display the title/label text) are not translated nor can they be overridden with string overrides. This can be seen by:

  1. add a name field to a content-type as an example "basic_page";
  2. go to the node add form for that content-type in a language other than English (ex. fr/node/add/basic_page);
  3. open a new tab and go to translations and translate the string "Given" to "Prénom";
  4. refresh fr/node/add/basic_page tab and see the word "Given" in the field description has not been translated.

From the code it looks like the #title of the elements gets passed through t, but not before the element #title is written to the #description. Patch to follow.

Admittedly not a great patch, but it seems to work.

Year, seems wrong, idk why #title wouldn't already be translated by then. Pushed through anyways.
