Feature request: taxonomy name filter

Hello! 🙂

I love this plugin very much, great effort!
But it lacks some important functionality to work 100% percent with WPML.

When registering a taxonomy from a post type, there should be a possibility to alter the taxonomy name as there sometimes is a problem with both a post type and a taxonomy that has the same name.

For example, the WPML-function “icl_object_id” will not work as intended. This is because when trying to translate a post of a post type that is used as a taxonomy, WPML will believe that we are trying to translate a taxonomy and not a post.

This happens in the following file in WPML: sitepress.class.php:4525
As you can see here it will get a hit on a taxonomy before it gets to the part when it checks for custom post types.
WPML version: 3.6.2

I would believe the fix is fairly easy.
When registering the taxonomy then maybe make a difference between the CPT key and the name of the taxonomy. Maybe add a filter so that the developer can decide if there should be a difference or not.

Example:

We got a custom post type called “ship”.
Then we could decide to register the CPT-onomy as “taxonomy_ship” instead of “ship”

$taxonomy_name = add_filter('custom_post_type_onomies_prefix', function($taxonomy_name) {
return 'taxonomy_' . $taxonomy_name;
});

What do you think?
Best wishes, Robert Sather.
