Hi,
Searchengine don't know about any url-rewriting taking place.
From a searchengine's point of view:
1) Ask some URL (www.example.com)
2) read all the hyperlinks
3) follow a hyperlink, eg: www.example.com/en/page1.php
4) Server responds with the HTML.
etc
The fact that the server in step 3 using URL rewriting (and actually uses
www.example.com/page1.php?lang=en) is completely unknown to the searchbot.
It is completely unknown to ANY client.
It is just something between you and your friend Apache. ;-)
