Hi there,

Doing this via the .htaccess might be a bit tricky, instead I believe that this extension would work for you:

https://github.com/codemix/yii2-localeurls

It is quite flexible and configurable, you could specify the following scenario:

/ar
/ar/some/page
/               -> Redirect to /ar
/some/page      -> Redirect to /ar/some/page
