title: Force language GET variable via htaccess or ...?
body: <p>I have 3 subdomains , which are based on Opencart. 
  What I need to force on each domain given language </p>
  
  <p>to do so _GET['language']  should be defined strictly for each subdomain </p>
  
  <p>en.handmade24.at ->  language=en </p>
  
  <p>ru.handmade24.at ->  language=ru  </p>
  
  <p>www.handmade.24.at  -> language=de</p>
  
  <p>I was told .htaccess was a good option to force language variable... </p>
  
  <p>But how can i define the rules? Any help? I am dummy in htaccess...</p>
  
  <p>my Htaccess looks like this </p>
  
  <blockquote>
  <pre><code>Options +FollowSymlinks
  
  # Prevent Directoy listing 
  Options -Indexes
  
  # Prevent Direct Access to files
  &lt;FilesMatch "\.(tpl|ini)"&gt;
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
  &lt;/FilesMatch&gt;
  
  # SEO URL Settings
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
  </code></pre>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Or maybe you could offer nicer solution?</p>
