Bad redirect

[Snake]

How can I 301 redirect all query strings with "?hl=t" to my forum root please?

Put this rule before the others:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} hl=(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|cy|yi)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/forums/ [L,R=301]

Please test it!

I DO NOT want to redirect all those urls, I WANT to redirect ONLY query strings with ?hl=t to my root.

I dont not want to rediret the old mod urls to the root, i am happy redirecting them to the new mod folder urls.

I dont think you are understanding the problem.

Sorry for confusion. It is obviously my fault - I miss this detail. Please use this rule before other rules (test it):

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} hl=t
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/forums/ [L,R=301]

This one will redirect all requests with ?hl=t to your forum root. If you want redirect to root of your whole service, then remove /forums from rule
Once again sorry for misleading
