Thanks to @Milo on the comments, I’m gonna post my answer:
Firstly I added this rule:
add_rewrite_rule(
"en/artist/([^/]+)/?",
'index.php?pagename=post_type=artist&artist=$matches[1]&gal_template=en',
"top");
Then this filter:
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'gal_query_vars' );
function gal_query_vars( $query_vars )
{
$query_vars[] = 'gal_template';
return $query_vars;
}
Finally, I filtered the single template:
add_filter( 'single_template', 'get_custom_post_type_template' );
function get_custom_post_type_template($single_template) {
global $post;
if ($post->post_type == 'artist') {
$q = get_query_var('gal_template');
if ($q === 'en') {
$single_template = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/single-artist-en.php';
}
}
return $single_template;
}
Then on single-artist-en.php I did:
get_template_part('single-artist')
But you could do whatever you need.
