In the field UI, if I set an entity reference field using IEF to have a user-entered description/help-text, and set the field as required, when I load the entity's form, neither the help next nor the typical required indicator is visible in the widget.

I agree that this is a problem, and that we should fix it.

Nor the admin entered field label, as I pointed out at #1962022-12: Allow labels to be overriden. Not sure if this is a better issue to deal with that, if it should be split to its own, etc.

Does this patch compatible with IEF 7.x-1.3?

for translations you should use Field translation module (i18n_field) from i18n package.

The other issue fixed the required indicator and validation.
Will look at the help text issue.
