Redirect with .htaccess URLs matching a prefix to a subfolder

In a multilingual website I am trying to set a rule in .htaccess, so that the URLs that are contained in a folder, and that are matching a prefix, are redirected into a sub-folder.

In concrete:

www.example.com/es/urlprefix* ==> www.example.com/es/subfolder/urlprefix*

Example:

www.example.com/es/urlprefix_example

is redirected to 

www.example.com/es/subfolder/urlprefix_example

I would also like to know how to do the reverse, that is:

www.example.com/es/subfolder/urlprefix* ==> www.example.com/es/urlprefix*

Try the following at the top of your .htaccess file to redirect to the subfolder:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(es)/(urlprefix.*) /$1/subfolder/$2 [R,L]

To redirect the other way (to remove the subfolder) you could do something like this:

RewriteRule ^(es)/subfolder/(urlprefix.*) /$1/$2 [R,L]

Obviously you can't do both at the same time, without some additional conditions, otherwise you'll get a redirect loop.
