Comment submission & navigation redirects to default language

Question

I’ve figured out the solution to my problems. Here’s what I did…

Note:
This is considering the posts, thus comments, are under the ‘Article‘ post-type, which thus create the permalink such as this: site.com/article/post-name/#comments.
Adjustments should be made for other uses.

To fix problem #1 & #3:

if ( !is_admin() )
    add_filter('get_comment_link', 'my_comment_post_redirect');

function my_comment_post_redirect($location){

    // Retrieve the URL based on current language up to the post-type ('article')
    $currUrl = preg_replace('/(.*article\/).*/', '$1', $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]);

    // Retrieve the URL from the post name to the location of the comment
    // (ie. comment page & number/ID)
    $cmntPage = preg_replace('/.*article\/(.*)/', '$1', $location);

    // Comment page #1 has special redirection, thus...
    $cmntPageNum    = preg_replace('/.*comment-page-(.*)\/.*/', '$1', $cmntPage);
    // If on first comment page...
    if ($cmntPageNum == 1) {
        // ...then get rid of comment page from permalink
        $cmntPage = preg_replace('/(.*)comment-page-.*\/(.*)/', '$1$2', $cmntPage);
    }

    return $currUrl.$cmntPage;
}

UPDATED: The above code will also affect comment links in the back-end so I added if ( !is_admin() ) at the top to prevent it from happening.

For problem #2, I created a function for each link (next & previous):

function def_get_next_comments_link($label, $max) {
    // Get the complete code generated by the function
    // (which includes the <a> tag)
    $navLink = get_next_comments_link($label, $max);
    // Retrieve the base URL up to the post-type 'article'
    $baseUrl = preg_replace('/.*(http:.*article\/).*/', '$1', $navLink);
    // Replace the base URL with the one for the current language
    return str_replace($baseUrl, qtrans_convertURL($baseUrl), $navLink);
}

function def_get_previous_comments_link($label) {
    // Get the complete code generated by the function
    // (which includes the <a> tag)
    $navLink = get_previous_comments_link($label);
    // Retrieve the base URL up to the post-type 'article'
    $baseUrl = preg_replace('/.*(http:.*article\/).*/', '$1', $navLink);
    // Replace the base URL with the one for the current language
    return str_replace($baseUrl, qtrans_convertURL($baseUrl), $navLink);
}

Then I just called the functions where the links are.

This worked for me. 🙂
