Hi, a quick search of the forum for mod_rewrite should give you the answers. Also have a look in the Apache section of the forums.

I suppose it depends on your server setup as well.

Check out the SitePoint article mod_rewrite: A Beginner's Guide to URL Rewriting aswell.

And the cheatsheet at ilovejackdaniels.com is very useful too!

oh btw you can only translate what was in the original url, so there's no way of getting the category name unless you have that in the query string too.
