Try using icl_object_id for that. If you need technical help, better use the forum: http://forum.wpml.org Using low level MySQL calls is much more difficult than using WPML’s API functions.

If the theme supplied the category ID (as it should), you would just use the object_id function to get the ID of the translated category. Since it supplies a name, you first need to find the ID (according to the name) and the look up the translated ID. This is a bit more complicated.

The pulled link needs to change according to the language. Any ideas?
