Does any of you have any suggestion to change a dynamic url into a static url?
This is the url I want to make static:
http://www.arreglaordenador.com/home.php?language=sp
http://www.arreglaordenador.com/home.php?language=en

I tried two ways. These are either putting this code in my .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule home-language-(.*)\.htm$ home.php?language=$1

or placing this other code in the same file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule home/language/(.*) home.php?language=$1
RewriteRule home/language/(.*)/ home.php?language=$1

Nonetheless, it did not work as I expected since I get an Error 500 in my browser for my local installation of the site. Moreover, for the hosting server I do not get any error but the url keeps being dynamic.
I have php 5 installed on both local and hosting company if that information helps to tackle the problem.
I would appreciate any suggestion.
