I’ve used calendar\_helper ([GitHub - topfunky/calendar\_helper: Calendar-generating plugin for Ruby](http://github.com/topfunky/calendar_helper/)  
tree/master) from Geoffrey Grosenbach before and it works well. It’s  
pretty basic but it gets the job done. Look through the README on  
GitHub to see some usage examples. You can pass a block to the  
‘calendar’ call and insert text and a CSS class on particular days (if  
an event is scheduled for that day, for instance). Once you get that  
part setup, you’ll have to write some custom CSS to style the calendar  
the way you would like it. Hope that’s what you’re looking for…if  
you need any help feel free to post back.

A lot of calendar plugins aren’t going to be ready for translation if  
you  
decide to go the the i18n route. Something to keep in mind when  
choosing.
