   We've got the comment merging working with the latest WordPress and WPML for all post types. Caveat: I have a very strong feeling that this patch won't help if you want to use translated comments, but I may be wrong about that (so test if you want to use this feature and don't just trust me).

   Replace the merge_comments function in the latest version of the plugin with this:

   function merge_comments($comments, $post_ID) {
   	global $sitepress;
   	remove_filter( 'comments_clauses', array( $sitepress, 'comments_clauses' ) );
   	// get all the languages for which this post exists
   	$languages = icl_get_languages('skip_missing=1');
   	$post = get_post( $post_ID );
   	$type = $post->post_type;
   	foreach($languages as $code => $l) {
   		// in $comments are already the comments from the current language
   		if(!$l['active']) {
   			$otherID = icl_object_id($post_ID, $type, false, $l['language_code']);
   			$othercomments = get_comments( array('post_id' => $otherID, 'status' => 'approve', 'order' => 'ASC') );
   			$comments = array_merge($comments, $othercomments);
   		}
   	}
   	if ($languages) {
   		// if we merged some comments in we need to reestablish an order
   		usort($comments, 'sort_merged_comments');
   	}
   	//
   	add_filter( 'comments_clauses', array( $sitepress, 'comments_clauses' ) );
   
   	return $comments;
   }

   Just noticed that you need the following amend to the beginning of merge_comment_count to make that work correctly with custom post types:

   function merge_comment_count($count, $post_ID) {
   	// get all the languages for which this post exists
   	$languages = icl_get_languages('skip_missing=1');
   	$post = get_post( $post_ID );
   	$type = $post->post_type;
   
   	foreach($languages as $l) {

   (then the rest unchanged)

   Here's the diff.

   Hi guys,
   why are you not updating the plugin ?

   I opened that discussion months ago:
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/dont-works?replies=2#post-2187531

   And now I discovered that you resolved the problem here,
   but the plugin in wordpress plugin repository is still not working.

   Thanks for the good fix.
