When only a partial `labels` config is defined on a collection, the
collection defaults do not apply as expected. This leads to undefined
`singular` or `plural` properties that render as either empty or
untranslated strings on the front-end.
For example:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
export MyCollection: CollectionConfig = {
// ...
labels: {
plural: 'Pages', // Notice that `singular` is excluded here
},
}
```
This renders empty or untranslated strings throughout the admin panel,
here are a couple examples:
