I think this is working as intended. If you check the getDescrition() method from Java API libraries, you see that getDescrition() could return value or null for none.

But what it means to have a null description while having a score!? – May 06 '18 at 15:44

I think that means we know for a degree of certainty that this is from web page X or Y, but that does not mean that we have [description *in English*](https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/reference/rest/v1/images/annotate#WebEntity) of the entry. – Xiaoxia Lin May 07 '18 at 15:21
