Translating activerecord collection for a dropdown

In a model I have some states 

STATES = ["in_progress", "active", "archived"]

In my form I want a drop down/select with 

In Progress, Active, Archived  for english

and 

ชำระ , ขัน , ยื่น in Thai

What is the best way to handle this ?

One option I have thought of is the following 

def self.states
  @states = {}
  STATES.each do |s|
    @states[s] = I18n.t(s)
  end
  @states
end

Is there a better way?

This is supported by simple_form:

In your view, you should just use

<%= f.input :state, collection: ["in_progress", "active", "archived"] %>

In your yaml file, you should have

simple_form:
  options:
    defaults:
      state:
        in_progress: In progress
        active: Active
        archived: Archived
