Setting specifies the context site for experience editor

I am working on multisites and I want to open experience editor for the context site, but sitecore doesn't resolve the context site and it always takes me to the default website, there is a setting in sitecore.config file i set it to "true", but still it takes me to the default website :

http://mywebsite.local/?sc_mode=edit&sc_site=website

here is the setting in sitecore.config, my sitecore version is 8.1 (Update 2)

<!--  PREVIEW - RESOLVE SITE
            If false, the Preview.DefaultSite setting specifies the context site to use when a user previews an item.
            If true, when a user previews an item, Sitecore tries to resolve the root item and the context site based on the current content language
            and the path to the item. If Sitecore cannot resolve the context site, it uses the site that is specified in the Preview.DefaultSite setting.
            Default value: false (use the value of the Preview.DefaultSite setting)
      -->
    <setting name="Preview.ResolveSite" value="true"/>

This Reported as bug in Sitecore 8.1 (Update 2), and this is the fix from support team :

  1. Open the “/sitecore/client/Applications/Launchpad/PageSettings/Buttons/ContentEditing/ExperienceEditor” item in the core database
  2. Change the “Link” field value to: /?sc_mode=edit&sc_resolvelanguage=0

Updated Answer :

For multi-sites, you need to apply anothor fix I did not find its number on https://kb.sitecore.net/ so i uploaded the required files on dropbox :

  1. Download Sitecore.Support.88883.zip, from this Link

  2. Copy the attached Sitecore.Support.88883.dll file to the /bin folder of your website;

  3. Copy the attached Sitecore.Support.88883.config file to App_Config/Include folder of your website;
  4. Open the "/sitecore/client/Applications/Launchpad/PageSettings/Buttons/ContentEditing/ExperienceEditor" item in the core database
  5. Change the “Link” field value to: /?sc_mode=edit&sc_resolvelanguage=1
  6. Clear the browser cache.
