[Labs-l] Q: Language codes in rewrite rules?

[Silke Meyer]

Hello unicorn people!

I have a question concerning Apache rewrite rules:

For Wikidata we don't have a whole wiki farm on our test system, but one
repo installation and one client installation. We would now like to
pretend we had separate wikidata instances for the languages
(https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40389).

For the rewrite rules, it would be practical to define variables, macros
or something similar to tell apache "look, these are language codes".

Has anybody used anything similar and could point me to documentation or
give me an example of how you did it??? Or would I actually use regex
without referring to a predefined list?

Thanks for your ideas!
Silke
