I18n not loading translations with apartment gem rails

I am making a multi tenancy app using the apartment gem. I have it all set up and everything works as expected. I'm also using Rails Inteationalization (I18n) with active record backend to store translations. My current setup

Translation Table

class CreateTranslations < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
  def change
    create_table :translations do |t|
      t.string :locale
      t.string :key
      t.text :value
      t.text :interpolations
      t.boolean :is_proc, default: false

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

Apartment.rb configuration

I've added the Translation model to the list of excluded models so its global across all tenants

Apartment.configure do |config|

  # Add any models that you do not want to be multi-tenanted, but remain in the global (public) namespace.
  # A typical example would be a Customer or Tenant model that stores each Tenant's information.
  #
  config.excluded_models = %w{ User Workspace Translation }
end

In my translations table I have translations for both English (default) and Norwegian. On the main domain everything works as expected switching between English and Norwegian.

> Apartment::Tenant.switch! # switch to main tenant
> I18n.locale = :en # use English translations
> I18n.t('home.members_label')
  => "Show Members"

> Apartment::Tenant.switch! "elabs" # switch to a different tenant
> I18n.t('home.members_label')
  => "translation missing: en.home.members_label"

I'm not sure why translations are missing when in a tenanted environment. I was figuring having it in the list of excluded_models should do the trick but it seems something is wrong somewhere. Any clues? Thanks
