Using translated fields with formtastic

[tonic20]

Thank you for nice plugin. I have a problem when I use translated fields in forms with Formtastic.

When I use in views:
= semantic_form_for [:admin, @page] do |f|
= f.inputs do
= f.input :title
= f.buttons

Field title not shown correctly. Workaround is to use in forms proxy field, like title_translated below:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  puret :title

  # proxy for translated field
  def title_translated=(s)
    self.title = s
  end

  def title_translated
    title
  end
end

Then:
= semantic_form_for [:admin, @page] do |f|
= f.inputs do
= f.input :title_translated
= f.buttons

Works fine. How can I use translated fields in forms without such proxy fileds?

Seems like this is an issue only with formtastic.

Maybe formtastic looks into the attributes hash of ActiveModel.
Since I do not use that plugin, I won't dig deeper.

But a patch is greatly appreciated!

Actually this is a problem with plain Rails forms too. I just created a new Rails project to try it out:

rails new purettest
cd purettest
echo "gem 'puret'" >> Gemfile
bundle
rails generate scaffold post title:string description:text
rake db:migrate
rails generate puret:model Post title:string description:text
rake db:migrate
rails server

Go to /posts, create a new post and then try editing it, you will see that the form field is not prefilled.
