Qtranslate Comment code shows on the paypal using woocommerce

This is an answer to this thread:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/qtranslate-comment-code-shows-on-the-paypal-using-woocommerce

Which was closed for a stupid reason, it was a valid question, and it shows up as the first result on google, and due to it being closed i cannot answer the question in the correct place. (moderators mad with power i say).

Anyway, here’s the solution:

function waspdigital_woocommerce_paypal_qtranslate_product_name($paypal_args){
	// woocommerce uses a function 'paypal_item_name' which shortens these descriptions and seems to crop off part of qtranslates string
	// an example would be like this:
	// [item_name_1] => <!--:en-->Software Development, Methodology and Tools<!--:-->
	// which appears to be missing other languages
	// this patch just strips out the extra qtranslate stuff so that it doesn't look horrible at paypal checkout.
	$lang = qtrans_getLanguage();
	foreach($paypal_args as $key=>$value){
		if(strpos($key, 'item_name_') !== false){
			$paypal_args[$key] = str_replace('<!--:en-->', '', str_replace('<!--:'.$lang.'-->', '', str_replace('<!--:-->', '', $paypal_args[$key])));
		}
	}
	return $paypal_args;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_paypal_args', 'waspdigital_woocommerce_paypal_qtranslate_product_name' );
