Lets say I have 2 exactly same Views except they have different path, one uses node/search and the other node/recherche (french). Using Pathauto I forward these 2 links to these location

node/search = house/search.html
node/recherche = maison/recherche.html

Lets say my current page is the english one, Localizer block will display this link "switchuilocale/fr?destination=house/search.html" while in fact I would need this link "switchuilocale/fr?destination=maison/recherche.html"

What I had in mind shouldn't be pretty hard to code, I was able to do it in a crappy php way, but I am sure someone with more drupal knowledge than me could make a module for Localizer which would enable a way to set some of Pathauto link to a specified language, same way as with nodes.

I added a table with the same structure as localizernode called localizerpath, the 3 columns were renamed to (pid, locale, dst) instead of (pid, locale, nid)

localizerpath content
329, fr, 330
330, en, 330

Now my solution, which works but is not drupal-ok and this is why I need someone with this issue:

localizer.module line 448 (before $destination is url-encoded):

$result = db_query("SELECT s.pid AS src_pid, t.locale AS locale, t.dst AS dst_pid FROM {url_alias} s LEFT JOIN {localizerpath} t ON t.pid = s.pid WHERE s.dst='%s'", $destination);
// ORIGINAL FOUND
if ($original = db_fetch_object($result)) {

	if (!empty($original)) {

		$result = db_query("SELECT * FROM {localizerpath} WHERE dst='%d' AND locale='%s'", $original->dst_pid, $lang);

		// TRANSLATION FOUND
		if ($trans = db_fetch_object($result)) {

			if (!empty($trans)) {
				$result = db_query("SELECT * FROM {url_alias} WHERE pid='%d'", $trans->pid);

				// TRANSLATION DATA RETREIVED
				if ($trans_data = db_fetch_object($result)) {
					if (!empty($trans_data)) {
						$destination = $trans_data->dst;
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

If anyone wants to help me with that I would appreciate.

I'm not sure if this helps you, but you may look at the small module for localizer/pathauto in this feature request I just posted.

The module allows you to use language as a pathauto variable.

I still use this technique, here is the updated function. Old version needed the original alias. This one uses internal paths. Just take 


function localizer_get_fulllocalized($askedPath, $askedLocale, $defaultLocale=null) {

	if (empty($defaultLocale)) {
		$defaultLocale = 'en';
	}

	$result = db_query("SELECT t.* FROM url_alias s LEFT JOIN url_translation t ON t.pid = s.pid WHERE s.src='%s' AND t.locale='%s'", $askedPath, $defaultLocale);
	
	// ORIGINAL FOUND
	if ($original = db_fetch_object($result)) {

		if (!empty($original)) {

			$result = db_query("SELECT * FROM {url_translation} WHERE dst='%d' AND locale='%s'", $original->pid, $askedLocale);

			// TRANSLATION FOUND
			if ($trans = db_fetch_object($result)) {

				if (!empty($trans)) {
					$result = db_query("SELECT * FROM {url_alias} WHERE pid='%d'", $trans->pid);

					// TRANSLATION DATA RETREIVED
					if ($trans_data = db_fetch_object($result)) {

						if (!empty($trans_data)) {

							return $trans_data->dst;
	
						}
	
					}
	
				}
	
			}

		}
	
	}
	
	return $askedPath;
	
}
