Translation as JSON object instead of string when used with belongsTo relationship

[afonsosantos]

Hi there!

First of all, thank you for the work on this library.

We are using this library with Laravel 11, and recently discovered what seems like a bug when a translated model is fetched using belongsTo relationship.

We have a model CategoryRelation that is related to Category model. Now, this category model has a translatable field description.

// CategoryRelation.php

public function category()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(Category::class, 'parent_category_code', 'code');
}

When fetched in a controller from the Laravel Eloquent ORM, this comes as:

{
    "related_category": {
        "name": { "pt": "ABC" }
    },
}

(redacted for simplicity)

In all other places where translatable fields are fetched, the library does a great job fetching the correct value and returning it as a single string. This is the only situation where that does not ocurr.

Hope this was clear. In case any more information is needed, feel free to ask.

Thanks!
