Wp-calypso: Earn: Localize Payments email URLs

[sixhours]

Emails from Payments to merchants and subscribers do not include localized URLs so they're not i18n friendly.

We have localized_wpcom_url for this purpose, but it doesn't work for support doc links like https://wordpress.com/support/recurring-payments/ (which should resolve to https://wordpress.com/es/support/boton-pagos-recurrentes/, for example). Instead, it resolves to https://es.wordpress.com/support/recurring-payments/, which does not exist.

@akirk @Automattic/i18n , I was looking at the code for localized_wpcom_url(), but it was unclear to me what happens to the page/post slugs. Should those be translated or are they supposed to remain untranslated?

[akirk]

Page slugs should remain untranslated (we support the English slugs and redirect to the translated ones) but as you saw it acts wrong on the new https://wordpress.com/support URLs. Working on an update in D40703-code

The Diff was merged, so this should be fixed. Please close the issue when you have confirmed it.

@sixhours With D44652 merged, is there anything else left here?

Oh, I don't think so. I will plan to localize any eligible URLs in the next round of email updates, so I don't think this needs to be tracked separately.
