WordPress - Forcing SSL with .htaccess leads to redirect loop when using Polylang

I have this issue with WordPress site that uses Polylang Plugin. I have redirected all traffic to https version with .htaccess like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

After I changed the "default language" setting in Polylang, I started getting "Too many redirects" error. If I remove the above lines from .htaccess, the error goes away.

Is there a way to force all traffic to https version while using Polylang?

Multilanguage plugins have redirects of their own, which in this case probably causes the loop. If you re-save the settings of the polylang plugin, it should be fixed.

Removing the .htaccess redirects of Really Simple SSL is not necessary.

Managed to resolve this by forcing ssl in functions.php instead. 

if($_SERVER["HTTPS"] != "on")
{
    header("Location: https://" . $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
    exit();
}
