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 sub request and custom controller to be able to display this information.

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