I'm working on a Rails 3.1 app and I'd like to set specific routes for the different languages the app is going to support. /es/countries /de/countries … For the default language ('en'), I don't want the locale to be displayed in the url. /countries Here is the route definition I've set. scope "(:locale)", :locale => /es|de/ do resources :countries end It works great, until I try to use a path helper with 'en' as the locale.

I have found a few articles addressing the issue of helpers within an engine not being accessible to the consuming (parent) application.
