.htaccess language switch with path

Question

I have the following rule:

RewriteRule ^(de|en)/(.*)$ index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^de [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /de/ [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^$ /en/ [L,R=301]

domain.tld redirects to domain.tld/{lng}/

How to let domain.tld/news redirect to domain.tld/{lng}/news?

Answer 1

For both English and German, add these rules (tested these rules on Apache 2.2 and 2.4):

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^(en|de) [NC]
RewriteRule ^news/?$ %1/news [L]

Let me know if this works for you. :)
