ok so if i make a compilation of all information i have between headers and apache rewriterule i have a new issue. let's take an example. 1. user types in his favorite browser www.website.com 2. www.website.com/index.php redirects user to www.website.com/en/welcome/ (index.php within /welcome) thanks the following command: header("Location: http://www.website.com/en/welcome/"); 3. however, as /en/welcome does not exist, apache sends an error message: The requested URL /se_internet/en/welcome/ was not found on this server.

What's this "se_internet"? It looks to me that you've got a DOCUMENT_ROOT problem.

even if i have in my .htaccess file: RewriteRule ^/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/welcome/$ /welcome/index.php?lang=$1 [NC,L]

What comes before this line? If all you should have is a 2-letter language code, you should use: ^([a-z]{2})/welcome or, if you want to ensure only certain language codes are used: ^([de|fr|en])/welcome (for example)

4. user should at the end have in his browser address bar http://www.website.com/en/welcome but apache would reroute user to www.website.com/welcome/index.php?lang=en so where is the problem ? is there a problem with RewriteRule when you reroute only virtual folders ?

I think you need to post your entire rewrite rules.
