qTranslate plugin switching language in the same page

I have a serious problem with a qTranslate buttons.
Right now the web structure is: http://www.site.com/news/?lang=en

When I stay in the home page and I try to change the language, the botton opens the first post (maybe because I'm using permalink):

<?php if(qtrans_getLanguage()=='it'): ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo qtrans_convertURL(get_permalink(), 'en'); ?>" >eng</a></li>
    <li class="liguaattiva">ita</li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if(qtrans_getLanguage()=='en'): ?>
    <li class="liguaattiva">eng</li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo qtrans_convertURL(get_permalink(), 'it'); ?>" >ita</a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

How to solve this without open the last post or come back at the home page, but only switching language in the same page?

May be this late but following good functions to easy call check current language or auto generate any language URL for qTranslate:

// check language
function check_lang() {
    return qtranxf_getLanguage();
}

// Generate language convert URL
function get_lan_url($lang){
    echo qtranxf_convertURL('', $lang);
}

// generate inline translate short code
add_shortcode( 'translate_now', 'get_translate' );
function get_translate( $atts, $content = null ) {
    extract( shortcode_atts(
            array(
                'ar' => '',
                'en' => '',
                'es' => '',
                'fr' => '',
            ), $atts )
    );
    if ( check_lang() == 'ar' ) {
        echo $atts['ar'];
    }
    if ( check_lang() == 'en' ) {
        echo $atts['en'];
    }
    if ( check_lang() == 'es' ) {
        echo $atts['ar'];
    }
    if ( check_lang() == 'fr' ) {
        echo $atts['ar'];
    }
}

function translate_now($ar,$en,$es,$fr){
    $content = '[translate_now ar="'.$ar.'" en="'.$en.'" es="'.$es.'" fr="'.$fr.'"]';
    echo do_shortcode($content);
}

So now you can check current language using check_lang() function for example:

<?php if(check_lang() == 'ar'): echo 'مرحبا'; endif;?>
<?php if(check_lang() == 'en'): echo 'Hello'; endif;?>
<?php if(check_lang() == 'es'): echo 'Hola'; endif;?>
<?php if(check_lang() == 'fr'): echo 'Bonjour'; endif;?>

Also you can use function translate_now()to translate inline by passing values:

<?php
translate_now(
    'مرحبا', // ar
    'Hello', //en
    'Hola', //es
    'Bonjour' //fr
);
?>

Also to generate any langauge convert URL use function get_lan_url() passing requested language:

<a href="<?php get_lan_url('ar');?>">العربية</a>
<a href="<?php get_lan_url('en');?>">English</a>
<a href="<?php get_lan_url('es');?>">España</a>
<a href="<?php get_lan_url('fr');?>">Français</a>

The links are stored in the $qTranslate_slug object. I made a function to make it easy to get the link for the current page in the desired language:

function getUrlInTargetLanguage($targetLang){
    global $qtranslate_slug;
    return $qtranslate_slug->get_current_url($targetLang);
}

So for example, if you wanted to get the english link, you should write:

getUrlInTargetLanguage("en");

You don't need to use get_permalink()

you can just pass an empty string as url and the language as 2nd param and the function will do rest ! just like:

$my_translated_content_url = qtrans_convertURL("", "en");

infact if you see at the function definition:

function qtrans_convertURL($url='', $lang='', $forceadmin = false) {
  global $q_config;

  // invalid language
  if($url=='') $url = esc_url($q_config['url_info']['url']); // <-You don't need the url
  if($lang=='') $lang = $q_config['language'];
      [... the function continue...]

I'm using qTranslate on my project and I do not do any of that stuff you do in your code above and have no problem switching between languages.

All I do is call qts_language_menu() function that creates language menu, nothing else. This will create necessary links which ables you to switch between languages but stay on the same page.
