Country select with i18n

I am trying to manage the country names with i18n. I have a countries
table with the countries extension codes (us., co., ve., .bo. etc…)
and the yml files with their complete names:

en:
countries:
ar: Argentina
co: Colombia
.

I am trying to make a form with a select option for country and came
up with this:

<%= f.select(“country_id”, Country.all.collect {|p| [ t
(‘countries.’+p.code), p.id ] }, { :include_blank => true }) %>

Can anyone tell is this a clean way to do this or is there another
way, maybe using collection_select. Thanks,
