Just use a before_action callback to set the default locale.

class Admin::DashboardController
  before_action :set_default_locale

  # ...

  private
    def set_default_locale
      I18n.default_locale = :en
    end
end

When i sign in to Admin Dashboard default locale doesn't set to :en – Santosh Aryal May 16 '16 at 15:01
Well did you add this code to the correct controller? – max May 16 '16 at 15:02
Have you tried using a log statement or any other debugging methods to check that set_default_locale is actually being run? – max May 16 '16 at 15:06
