title: RewriteRule in htaccess having no affect
body: <p>Sorry, this is probably a simple issue but I've read tons of tutorials and can't solve the issue.  Here's the URL sample:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://localhost:8106/privacy-policy/?lang=fr&amp;dest=app" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8106/privacy-policy/?lang=fr&amp;dest=app</a></p>
  
  <p>The .htaccess contents:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^privacy-policy/?lang=([a-z][a-z])&amp;dest=app$    privacy-policy/$1   [NC,L] 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I visit the URL I don't get redirected. Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
