You can implement this method in your model:

  def read_translated_attribute(name)
    globalize.stash.contains?(Globalize.locale, name) ? globalize.stash.read(Globalize.locale, name) : translation_for(Globalize.locale).send(name)
  end

Then you'll just need to set the input values in your form explicitely, like this:

<%= text_field 'role', "name_#{locale}", :value => @role.read_translated_attribute(:name), :class => ... %>
