Get translated field value with fallback
How can I get the translated value of a field in Drupal 8 and if no translation is given, fallback to the default node language? I tried this: https://drupal.stackexchange.com/a/145747/9586, but when no translation for a field if added, it just returns NULL.
Here is what I tried:
$node = Node::load(2); dsm(\Drupal::entityManager()->getTranslationFromContext($node)->field_my_awesome_field->value);
