Rails: How to do i18n on a dropdown menu in simple_form

I have a simple_form that has a dropdown menu with a collection of options. I wish to have the options saved as integers, but the text shown in the dropdown as a string based on the locale. As follows:

<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>

I currently have the options defined as class methods in MyModel, as follows:

def self.options
 [['Option 1', 1], ['Option 2', 2]]
end

Without i18n I had the following working:

f.input :dropdown, collection: MyModel::boolean, include_blank: false

Adding the locales, I tried

f.input :dropdown, collection: t(MyModel::boolean, scope: 'simple_form'), include_blank: false

But this raises an error:

translation missing: en.simple_form.Option 1.1

It looks as if it looks for both the array key and value in the translation.

Any suggestions how to make i18n work for the collection?

Since simpleform collections accept procs you can call a block on the label_method that will format your string as needed which may be what you're looking for:

f.input :dropdown, collection: MyModel::boolean, include_blank: false, :label_method => lambda { |item| t(item.last) }
