WPML with WP_Query serving up all 3 languages [closed]

Question

I've got something about this on the WPML support forums, but I figured I could ask here as well. Here's the important info: I'm running a WP Multisite setup with custom post types, custom fields, custom everything it seems. In a particular template file, I've got a secondary loop that's pulling a list of items from a different blog. From what I gathered, anything using the WP API should be filtered down to only the current language, but none of the WP_Query() functions I've got are doing so.

Relevant code:

<?php 
 switch_to_blog(23);
$args = array('post_type' => 'release-notes',
    'suppress_filters' => 0,
    'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'related_products',
                'value' => $thisproduct,
                'compare' => 'LIKE'
            )
        )
    );
$loop = new WP_Query($args);
if ($loop->have_posts()) {
    echo '<h2>Release Notes</h2>';
    while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
        //echo '<pre>';
        //print_r($post);
        //echo '</pre>';
        $post_link = ($post->post_name);
        echo '<p><a class="text-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a></p>';
    endwhile; // foreach($posts
} // if ($results
restore_current_blog();
?>

The problem here is twofold: first, it's returning results from every language instead of the current language - the same post, three times (EN, FR, DE). Second, the result from get_permalink() is completely wrong - it's spitting out http://www.mysite.com/blog23name/postname instead of http://www.mysite.com/blog23name/lang/posttype/postname - the custom permalink shown on the 'edit post' page.

Any ideas?

My solution was to register the custom post types on the site where I'm calling it from, then in WPML's settings set them to translate. This is in WPML -> Translation Management -> Multilingual Content Setup, down at the bottom. I assume it works by tricking WP into using that site's rewrite/translate rules when it doesn't have the proper info from switch_to_blog().
