  1. You can place this rule just below RewriteBase line in your main WP .htaccess:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^en/ http://newdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NE,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^(en|fr)/ http://newdomain.com/fr%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NE,R=301]
