To redirect from http://www.mysite.com/?do=change&lang=en to http://www.mysite.com/en/, you must capture the query string argument lang with RewriteCond and insert that into the RewriteRule 

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} lang=(.+)
RewriteRule ^$ /%1/ [R,L]

You want to know the rewrite rule in .htaccess? This could be sth like this:

RewriteRule ^(en|ar)/?$ /?do=change&lang=$1 [L]
