-You can set global default parameters that will be used when generating URLs with +default_url_options+. To do this, define a method with that name in your controller:
+You can set global default parameters for URL generation by defining a method called +default_url_options+ in your controller. Such a method must return a hash with the desired defaults, whose keys must be symbols:
 
 <ruby>
 class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
-  # This method must return a hash with symbolized keys.
   def default_url_options
     {:locale => I18n.locale}
   end
 end
 </ruby>
 
-These options will be used as a starting-point when generating URLs, so it's possible they'll be overridden by +url_for+. Because this method is defined in the controller, you can define it on +ApplicationController+ so it would be used for all URL generation, or you could define it on only one controller for all URLs generated there.
+These options will be used as a starting point when generating URLs, so it's possible they'll be overridden by the options passed in +url_for+ calls.
+
+If you define +default_url_options+ in +ApplicationController+, as in the example above, it would be used for all URL generation. The method can also be defined in one specific controller, in which case it only affects URLs generated there.
