How to pass parameters to a symbol method call

Vote count:

I have a model concern which adds a method 't' allowing the models fields to be translated va I18n:

module  Translatable
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  def t(field_name)
    I18n.t("models.#{self.class.table_name}.#{translation_tag}.#{field_name}")
  end

This works fine almost everywhere using:

@model.t(:name)

However I have a select field which uses this code to map the entries:

Model.all.order(name: :asc), :id, :name

And I want :name to use the translatable method instead. The below works, but I'm getting a missing argument error (quite clear why):

Model.all.order(name: :asc), :id, :t

However this doesn't work:

Model.all.order(name: :asc), :id, :t(:name)

What is the correct way to pass variables to methods when they are called as symbols?
