 * Hi,
 * I’ve a trouble.
    Indeed, in my PHP file, i’m dynamically constructing an URL 
   for a custom breadcrumb like `'<a href="'.get_site_url().'?p='.$target_id.'&lang
   ='. $this->lang .'">'.$target_name.'</a>'` When I’m hovering my breadcrumb everything
   is fine i see at the bottom of my browser an URL like [http://my-wordpress-website/?p=xxx&lang=en](http://my-wordpress-website/?p=xxx&lang=en)
   BUT when I click the link the URL is changing on [http://my-wordpress-website/?p=xxx&lang=en](http://my-wordpress-website/?p=xxx&lang=en)
   and the site switch on the default language without the en language. I’ve try
   many solutions like commenting lines in formatting.php or removing wptexturize
   filter, in vain.
 * Have you a solution to deal with ?
 * Thanks by advance.
 * Regards,
