Translated webcontent fields with a invalid language are copied to default "en_US" translation in case you edit it.

That can be caused if you remove a language from enabled locales, or you upgrade from a old Liferay version that contains language-id="false" as a language.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a basic webcontent
2. Add title and content in Spanish (es_ES) and Dutch (nl_NL) use title_es, content_es, title_nl and content_nl
3. Go to instance settings => language configuration
4. Remove Dutch (nl_NL)
5. Shutdown Liferay
6. Add following key in portal-ext.properties

   locales=ca_ES,zh_CN,en_US,fi_FI,fr_FR,de_DE,iw_IL,ja_JP,pt_BR,es_ES

7. Start Liferay
8. Edit again the basic webcontent created in first step
   • Expected behavior: only Spanish translation is available in webcontent
   • Wrong behavior: Spanish and English translation are available in webcontent. English translation is a copy of the original Dutch translation
