If you need to use a method in the application scope then I would suggest that you keep those methods inside the application controller and in order to use them inside views.. declare those as helper methods.

For example,

 end

 def some_method
 end

You're missing parantheses around the I18n.t argument - it should be link_to(I18n.t('cart.check_cart_status'), acqs_url), otherwise the URL will be passed as an argument to I18.t method, not to the link_to method.

Also, if you're trying to test the assignment in the rails console, you should call it like this:

helper.link_to(I18n.t('cart.check_cart_status'), app.acqs_url)
