I have a RewriteCond to set the current working directory in an environment variable as below:
RewriteCond $0#%{REQUEST_URI} ([^#]*)#(.*?/)\1$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=CWD:%2]
Above this two rules , I have a separate rule for rewriting .
RewriteRule ^(?!ui?)([a-zA-Z]{2})/(.*)$ $2?language=$1 [NC,QSA]
Overall , my .htaccess section looks something like:
RewriteRule ^(?!ui?)([a-zA-Z]{2})/(.*)$ $2?language=$1 [NC,QSA]
RewriteCond $0#%{REQUEST_URI} ([^#]*)#(.*?/)\1$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=CWD:%2]
For the REQUEST_URI :
/es/website-design/do-it-yourself-website-builder.php
CWD is set with the value '/es/'
but for the REQUEST_URI :
/de/website-design/do-it-yourself-website-builder.php
CWD is set with the value '/de/website-design/'
Ideally CWD is expected to store the base folder name ('/es/' and '/de/' respectively) in the abovementioned cases.
What is going wrong here ? I am stuck on this for quite sometime now.
Please help.

Make sure every rule has L flag e.g.
RewriteRule ^(?!ui?)([a-zA-Z]{2})/(.*)$ $2?language=$1 [NC,QSA]
should be
RewriteRule ^(?!ui?)([a-zA-Z]{2})/(.*)$ $2?language=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
and then completely clear your browser cache.
Env variable CWD should always be coming as / because htaccess is placed directly in site root directory.
