Download Monitor compatible workaround to Polylang

Hi and thanks for the plugin.

I found the information, that Polylang and Download Monitor are not compatible. But no soloution.

For my private blog there might be an very easy workaround, but I don’t get it working.

Workaround Goal:

Instead of https://domain.tld/download/123
I want to link to
https://domain.tld/en/download/123

I don’t need a difference of the langauges in the download-link and it works with any used language (de, fr …)

I can think of three aproches and an last resort.

1. custom download format
add a content-download-websitename.php to the theme-folder and adjust the code.

<a class="download-link" href="<?php $dlm_download->the_download_link(); ?>" rel="nofollow">

no idea how :/

2. functions.php
no idea where to start at all.

3. .htaccess redirect.
my idea was

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
rewriterule ^download/(.*)$ https://domain.tld/en/download/$1 [r=301,nc]

but it didn’t work

last resort:
manually set ink in the editor.
<a href="https://domain.tld/en/download/123">Button-Text</a>
I just almost don’t need the plugin than ??

thanks for your help and hints you might have for me.
