.htaccess rule for language detection in subdirectory

I have an URL that is https://www.myurl.com/subdir/language/login.php .
The "language" parameter is not an existing subfolder. The folder structure is:

root/subdir/.htaccess

As you can see the .htaccess file is located in https://www.myurl.com/subdir/.htaccess

I would like to do a .htaccess Rewrite Rule in order to change the called uri:
https://www.myurl.com/subdir/en/login (without .php)
to:
https://www.myurl.com/subdir/login.php?lng=en

My current apporach is:

# MultiViews must be disabled for the rewrite to work
Options -MultiViews
# Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subdir/

RewriteRule (en|de)(/login)$ login.php?lng=$1 [L]

But when I call the URI https://www.myurl.com/subdir/en/login I get an http error code 404.

Yes thats it! One more question, what if the scenario is all the same, but I would like to get the (en/de) in front of /subdir/ ? So the url would be myurl.com/en/subdir/login:

In this case rule must be placed in site root .htaccess instead of subdir/.htaccess with this rule:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(en|de)/(subdir/login)/?$ $2.php?lng=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
