 * There are many redirection plugins that enable you to do this easily. One of 
   them is [Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-pagepost-redirect-plugin/),
   the other one is [Speedy Page Redirect](http://wordpress.org/plugins/speedy-page-redirect/)
   and you can find more in plugins directory.

 * well actually the problem isnt quite the redirection, i tried quick/page and 
   it redirected just fine, but instead of showing in the address bar **mywebsite.
   com/fr/page** it actually shows **mywebsite.com/fr/reallyweirdurl** and i want
   it to stay **mywebsite.com/fr/page** even after the redirection

 * I found this bit of code`RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}
   ^/([^/]+)$ RewriteRule .* [http://whatever.example.com/somepath/whatever/%1](http://whatever.example.com/somepath/whatever/%1)[
   L]` from this page [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14070635/rewritting-url-to-hide-real-page-path](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14070635/rewritting-url-to-hide-real-page-path)
   But I dont know how to adapt it to my case

 * Doing that type of rewrite (as opposed to HTTP header redirects) would be very
   difficult from within a plugin. I would advise the plugin author to *not* implement
   this kind of functionality. It would make the plugin dependent on a particular
   web server, unless it detected and adapted to every server. Also, since WordPress
   itself uses rewrites for friendly URLs, I see the potential for conflicts.
    Rewrites
   operate on a totally different level than redirects and there’s too much potential
   for trouble when mixing the two. There are many good mod_rewrite tutorials (assuming
   your are running Apache, as your example indicates) so go for it!
