+         This dictionary might include definitions for optional members `lang` and
+        `dir` to indicate the language and text-direction override of {{PaymentItem/label}}. 

Here is my mental model:

* The document (e.g., in the body element) specifies language and base direction for text in the document.
* If the API is called without any dir/lang metadata, the base direction and language come from the document.
* If the API is called with the dir/lang metadata, they override the base direction and language.

I think that's where the "override" text comes from. If that is not the right mental model and we should just say base direction, that will be fine.
