  # Add in Model for inherit methods
  acts_enum_translable
end

More details, please visit section 4.5 Translations for Active Record Models

Configure Locale English for exemple

# config/locales/en.activerecord.yml
en:
  activerecord:
    attributes:
      users:
        status:
          inactive: "Inactive"
          active: "Active"
          blocked: "Blocked"
        visible:
          hide: 'Hide'
          show: 'Show'

Configure Locale Portuguese for exemple

# config/locales/pt.activerecord.yml
pt:
  activerecord:
    attributes:
      users:
        status:
          inactive: "Inativo"
          active: "Ativo"
          blocked: "Bloqueado"
        visible:
          hide: 'Oculto'
          show: 'Visível'

Use methods sufix with _translable for enums key

# print status
user = User.new(status: :blocked, visible: :show)
user.status_translable
# english: Blocked
# portuguese: Bloqueado

# print visible
user.visible_translable
# english: Show
# portuguese: Visível

Use methods in Model class get enums for key

Required key param.

# return Array with Values
# in english
# I18n.locale = :en
User.enum_list(:status)
# => ["Inactive", "Active", "Blocked"]

# in portuguese
# I18n.locale = :pt
User.enum_list(:status)
# => ["Inativo", "Ativo", "Bloqueado"]

Now return array with values and keys or reverse

# return Arrary with par [value, key]
# in english
# I18n.locale = :en
User.enum_with_keys(:status)
# => [["Inactive", 0], ["Active", 1], ["Blocked", 2]]

# in portuguese
# I18n.locale = :pt
User.enum_with_keys(:status)
# => [["Inativo", 0], ["Ativo", 1], ["Bloqueado", 2]]

# return par array [key, value]
User.enum_form(:status)
# => [[0, "Inativo"], [1, "Ativo"], [2, "Bloqueado"]]

Use SimpleForm too

Easy return enums translated.

# with I18n.locale = :pt or :en
<%= f.select :status, User.enum_form(:status), include_blank: true %>
