The help text for a entity reference field within a content type can be translated via "Translate interface", but does not show up in the node edit form. I don't have this problem with other fields (text, textarea, links ...)

Notice: We are using entity and field translation modules.

How to reproduce:

1) Create content type in language A and add a entity reference field with a help text.
2) Translate label and help text of this entity reference field in language B via "Translate interface"
3) Add a new content in langauge B. The label of the entity reference field is translated correctly, the help is not translated.

I tried to reproduce the problem following the steps but I couldn't. The help text is translated properly in my environment...

I also unable to reproduce this issue, but you said that the help text for the entity reference field is not translated. Try to replace the help text of the entity reference field as same as the text field and then check if the issue is still existed.

I have also found the same issue occurring on a site I'm working on. You can see the problem happening at http://artstno.com/node/add/artist. This is a public form for registration. My work-around solution was to include both English and French text together in the original field description. This site is VERY complex with many moving parts, many modules involved in pulling all the functionality together. There is probably something that creates an incompatibility resulting in the translated text not appearing. If I ever figure out what it is, I'll post it here.
