RewriteRule multilanguage site

Have site with many languages extra languages are in subdomains on my server like de.mydomain.com, fr.mydomain.com. in these de,fr subdirectory i've placed only htaccess file with this code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.de\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://www.mydomain.com/$1?lan=2%1" [L]

And it works but not how I want. it simply redirects from de.mydomain.com to mydomain.com, url in the browser is changing and I would like the url to stay like: de.mydomain.com but the content to be taken from mydomain.com?lan=2.(i use lan variable to change lang)

what do I do wrong here? maybe my general aproach to this problem is wrong?

Edit :

You need to point de subdomain to the root directory instead, and then adding these lines to the root htaccess file :

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?de\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1?lan=2 [L,QSA]

Put this rule before your rule:

RewriteRule !^(fr|en)/ /en%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

.htaccess rewrite to default language folder?
