WordPress WPML: Custom SELECT to get any translated content by language code

WPML for WordPress is a powerful plugin to build a multi-language setup. But it still comes short in some areas, especially when it comes to a custom integration into plugins or when using custom post-types.

Normally this function should return the id of the linked translated content, but has not worked for me in some cases (especially when AJAX is involved).

icl_object_id( $id, 'custom_post_type', false, $translation_lang );

A simple SELECT helps to get that id yourself :)
