Description
When writing a new post, changing locale will cause an uncaught type error and the editing form of the post content isn't show up.
**To Reproduce**
1. Setup Netify CMS with i18n enabled.
2. Click New button in the index page.
3. Change writing locale dropdown from `Writing in EN` to another locale, for example, `Writing in FR`
4. The editing form will disappear, and you will see an uncaught type error in the debug console.
**Expected behavior**
- No error will be thrown.
- The editing form won't disappear after changing the writing locale.
