Writing an .htaccess rewrite rule not working

I'm not great at writing rewrite rules, but this has me confused. I want to make a rewrite rule for url's of the form

http://www.test.com/ENG/help.htm#PST http://www.test.com/JPN/help.htm#GMT-0900

(where the second part is either ENG or JPN, then always help.htm, then # and a timezone abbreviation)

to redirect to

/en/help#PST /jp/help#GMT-0900

I've tried lots of variations on the following:

RewriteRule ^/ENG/help.htm /en/help [NC,QSA,L]

just to see if I could get /ENG/help.htm to redirect to en/help, but for some reason this is always failing (no redirects are happening at all, so I guess for some reason it's not detecting the URL's I expect it to..?), and I'm getting really confused now as to what I'm doing wrong.

Remove leading slash from your URI and part after # doesn't even reach to server so that cannot be added back in resulting URI. You can use this rule instead:

RewriteRule ^/?ENG/help\.htm$ /en/help#PST [NC,NE,L,R]
