Hello, dudes:  
My app utilises “Localization” plugin, and in the view, I added a  
link as follow:  
\<%= link\_to \_ ‘Sign up’, :controller =\> ‘account’, :action =\> ‘signup’  
%\>

```
_ 'Sign up' , this part, it does translate the words "sign up"

```

into what I want, but the link function works incorrectly, if I check  
the source, it is "[e$BCmQFe(B](https://www.ruby-forum.com/tasks) ", it should be like  
[e$BCmQFe(B](https://www.ruby-forum.com/account/signup), seems like the options  
“controller” &  
“action” didnt works in link\_to ??

```
Anybody knows what to do?

```

Thanks!  
Myst

Hi, I solved this , using \_(‘Sign up’), rather than \_ ‘Sign up’
