We have a classed called `Translation` that translates a value.
```
class Translation < ApplicationRecord
translates :value
end
```
This causes the following error:
```
ActiveRecord::InverseOfAssociationNotFoundError:
Could not find the inverse association for globalized_model (:translations in Translation)
# /home/circleci/bundle/ruby/2.7.0/gems/activerecord-5.2.8.1/lib/active_record/reflection.rb:236:in `check_validity_of_inverse!'
```
The problems seems to be that globalize also uses classes called Translation internally.
This results in a confusion between `Translation` and `Translation::Translation` when Rails checks the inverse_of.
I fixed this by prepending `"::"` to the class name, making sure that the class is loaded from the top-level namespace.
