You've been using the WPML setting that adds a query parameter at the end of a URL to select the language
and now you want to switch to the setting where the languages are in different directories?

From this setting: Language name added as a parameter (https://www.example.com?lang=fr - French)
To this setting: Different languages in directories ((https://www.example.com/ - English, https://www.example.com/fr/ - French))

Then the above redirect rule is for you. It safely redirects all old URLs to the new ones, after you did the switch.
