htaccess workaround help

[CodeRed]

So I am able to get any user with language "pt" to view my portuguese translated pages. But, lets say they wanted to read the english language versions by clicking a link? Rather than creating duplicate pages is there a way to work around it via htaccess or html?

Here is the code I'm using now:

#The 'Accept-Language' header starts with 'pt'
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} (pt) [NC]
RewriteRule ^party-poker.php$ Party Poker: Análise e Códigos de Bônus de Depósito [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} (en|pt) [NC]
RewriteRule ^party-poker-en.php$ Party Poker: Review and Deposit Bonus Codes [L]

And I'm not having any luck. The pages are redirecting but the first RewriteRule is overriding the 2nd everytime.

Thoughts?

You don't need to avoid duplicate content when doing translations if you tag them properly for G.

I don't know how to make that first rule not overriding the second, as overriding is exactly what the first rule is supposed to do.

So you're saying perhaps if I switched the two it would work? Worth a shot.

I realize if I create a 3rd set of pages for all the sites that had -en in the title that it would work. But IMO there's got to be a better way than to create 3 sets of pages for only 2 languages.

Got it to work finally. Removed a line from the .htaccess file and put in a <php> script at the top of the html page. Works great now .
