Changing the language does not retain the URL and path is chopped off after content item

Question

I have implemented Item resolver for item "quote" [home->quote] like http://sss.com/quote/Certquote/32 by implementing

 public class CustomItemResolverForQuote : HttpRequestProcessor
    { .... }

But when I change the language to Arabic (implementation similar to habitat language) it's retaining only till "quote" as that is the item in content and not the full path(of item resolver) "/certquote/32" is not retained like

http://sss.com/ar-sa/quote/

How do I retain the path after language change after implementing item resolver( for "quote") like http://sss.com/ar-sa/quote/Certquote/32

Any help is much appreciated

Thanking with Regards, Avinash

From what i have understood from your requirements, I wrote the following class that works for any languages. Hope it helps.

public class ItemResolver: HttpRequestProcessor
{
    public override void Process(HttpRequestArgs args)
    {
        try
        {
            string pattern = "/Certquote/32";//should be defined as a constant

            if (Sitecore.Context.Item == null)
            {
                string originalRequest = Sitecore.Context.RawUrl;
                string itemPath = args.Url.ItemPath;

                var decodedUrl = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(originalRequest);
                if (Regex.IsMatch(decodedUrl, pattern, RegexOptions.Multiline))
                {
                    var match = Regex.Match(decodedUrl, pattern, RegexOptions.Multiline);

                    itemPath = itemPath.ToLower().Split(new string[] { match.Value.ToLower() }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)[0];
                    itemPath = itemPath.Replace("-"," ");
                    Sitecore.Context.Item = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(itemPath, Sitecore.Context.Language);
                }
            }

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
        }
    }
}

Thanks
