Perhaps Object#with_options plus the :locale param could be helpful.
Something like

I18n.locale = :en
# English
t(:"welcome")
with_options(:locale => :fr) do |trans|
  # French
  trans.t(:"hello")
end
# English
t(:"goodbye")

Or define a method like

  def self.in_locale(locale)
    old_locale = I18n.locale
    I18n.locale = locale
    yield
  ensure
    I18n.locale = old_locale
  end

and you could do stuff like

I18n.locale = :en
# English
t(:"welcome")
I18n.in_locale(:fr) do
  # French
  t(:"hello")
end
# English
t(:"goodbye")
