…gement' (backend)
All field descriptions for optional fields in 'user registration' are "If required, please fill this field." This has no meaning to a regular user.
In addition to that this description exists only once for all fileds. (not usable)
On the other hand there is a single description for each optional user field in 'user management' which is unnecessary for admins or publishers.
So my solution was to change line 259 in profile.php
from: if ($app->isClient('site')...
to: if (!$app->isClient('site')...
This solved the problem (at least in my case).

So what would you suggest ? (Or do you doubt the problem ?)
Things get mor funny !
I just made some screenshots after selecting English as default language.
Forget about the backend - Frontend is more impotant.
Screenshots 1 (line 259 in profile.php CHANGED)
(In this case I can change these descriptions by language override)
Screenshots 2 (line 259 in profile.php UNCHANGED)
(In this case I can't change these descriptions by language override)
I hope you now can see what I mean !?
Sorry, but what does that mean to me ?
Do I get my problem solved or not ?
What else can I do to have a different description field popup for each field (as in my screenshots 1)?
It means your proposed solution is not correct.
Personally I would not use that plugin. You can achieve what you want with custom fields.

If I got it right, you say I should not use Joomla - because it's the original Joomla plugin what we are talking about here !

Do you mean I should replace the original Joomla 'Users -> Manage -> Users:Edit -> User Profile' fields by 'Users -> Manage -> Users:Fields' ?
If the plugin does not suit your needs then yes I would create the fields using Users -> Manage -> Users:Fields'

With this change, the description from plugin configuration is shown. E.g.
Choose an option for the field Address 1. This is not correct, IMO, as it refers to the required/optional/disabled options from plugin config.
