Support for multilanguage sites, Internationalization (I18N)

I hate to repost, however, I think this is also relevant to the I18N plugin.

Code:

RewriteRule ^blog/tag/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?id=blog&tag=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/post/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?id=blog&post=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/page/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?id=blog&page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/archive/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?id=blog&archive=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(es|en)/(.*?/)?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$3&lang=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

I found a conflict between using language codes in the URL with the I18N plugin and using clean URLS with the news manager. The URL for the news manager includes the %language% instead of the particular en/es/de ect. I guess this would involve modifying the news manager .htaccess rules too? I'm afraid to screw up my rewrite rules.
