.htaccess redirection for wordpress

Due to bug in our theme, We are trying to achieve these tasks

1.) when user click on login right now he is going to www.mysite.lu/en/wp-login.php or www.mysite.lu/fr/wp-login.php ( WPML multilingual ). For all these types of URL its showing 404 page. So we thought we can remove language from URL using .htaccess redirection method. So we are using following code

   Redirect /en/wp-login.php /wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://mysite.lu/en/my-account
   Redirect /fr/wp-login.php /wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://mysite.lu/fr/my-account/
   Redirect /de/wp-login.php /wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://mysite.lu/de/my-account

using above code our login URL is working fine.

2.) But our registration URL is 

   http://mysite.lu/en/wp-login.php?action=register

So when we click on register link its also redirecting to 

   http://mysite.lu/de/my-account

which is incorrect. We dont want to redirect register URL.

For this we also tried below code

 RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !(^|&)action=register($|&) [NC]
 RewriteRule  /en/wp-login\.php$ /wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://mysite.lu/en/my-account [L,R=301]

But this is also not working. please tell what we are doing wrong.

Based in my comments and for clearer reading use this so you are not affected by RedirectMatch not being able to see past the query_string:

<If "! %{QUERY_STRING} =~ /^.+/"> # or ^action just for action
RedirectMatch ^/(en|fr|de)/wp-login.php$ /wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://mysite.lu/$1/my-account/
</If>

Try this rule as your very first rule:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !(^|&)action=register($|&) [NC]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/wp-login\.php$ /wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://mysite.lu/$1/my-account [L,R=301,NE,NC]

Leading slash / is not matched in .htaccess as it is per directory directive.
