Rewrite url, replace variable with keyword

Question

I have the following URL's:

http://www.website.com/index.php?page=boat&id=1&lang=nl

index.php is my main file. The variable "page=" is used to show the right page.

I came up with the following rule:

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*) /index.php?lang=$1&keyword=$2&page=$3&id=$3&model=$4 [L]

which changes the url to:

http://www.website.com/nl/yachts-for-sale/boat/1/princess-50

However I want the url to look like:

http://www.website.com/nl/yachts-for-sale/1/princess-50

As you can see without "boat" in the url. But this is an important variable because it decides which page to show.

How can I achieve this? The "yachts-for-sale" keyword is exclusive for the "boat" page. I was thinking about a Rewritemap, but that is not allowed in a .htaccess file.

You state that

The "yachts-for-sale" keyword is exclusive for the "boat" page

If you do not have that rule in your PHP, add it in your rewriteRule:

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/(yachts-for-sale)/([^/]*)/([^/]*) /index.php?lang=$1&keyword=$2&page=boat&id=$3&model=$4 [L]
