.htaccess rewrite to default language folder?

Question

I have my site broken down into several folders by language:

/
  /en/
    index.php
    about-us.php
    faq.php
    ...

  /fr/
    index.php
    about-us.php
          


        

Answer 1

Put this rule before your rule:

RewriteRule !^(fr|en)/ /en%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Or more general:

RewriteRule !^[a-z]{2}/ /en%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
