Description

ez_field_description() is a Twig helper which returns a Content item's field FieldDefinition description in the current language.

This can be useful when you don't want to use a sub-request and custom controller to be able to display this information.

Info
If the current language cannot be found as a translation for content, the main language will be used. This behavior is identical when forcing a language using forcedLanguage.
