See the Mongoid localized documentation.

You need to set a hash text_translations that contains 2 keys, en and it. So you can create 2 inputs called text_translations['en'] and text_translations['it'] :

  <% ['en', 'it'].each do |key| %>
  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label key %><br />
    <%= text_field_tag "text_translations[" + key + "]", @model.text_translations[key] %> 
  </div>
<% end %>

In your controller (update and create) you can do :

model.text_translations = params[:text_translations]
