Concatenate string to Display Culture Value MVC 4+

Hi I've followed the following post in order to localize labels for a form.

http://afana.me/post/aspnet-mvc-internationalization.aspx

I works perfectly but I'm trying to find a way to concatenate ":" on to the display value (i.e. Address:)?

View:

<div class="col-sm-5">
 @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Address)
</div>

Model:

 [Required]
 [Display(Name = "Address", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources))]
 public string Name { get; set; }

key in resx file 

Name :Address
Value:Address

My attempts are:

Change the model 

[Display(Name = "Address" + ":", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources))]

Change the view 

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Address, Name + ":")

Anyone with any ideas if it's possible? Is there away to get the Name property and manipulate it in the view?

I would prefer to keep it simple and see the View changed by adding, for example, &#58;.

The text "Address" is bound to be used somewhere else where a colon or dash isn't required.
