Thanks bernd.

An extract from my realurl_conf.php file looks like this:

         'preVars' => array(
                 , array(
                         'GETvar'   => 'L',
                         'valueMap' => array(
                                 'de' => '1',
                                 'fr' => '2',
                                 'it' => '3',
                         ),
                         'noMatch' => 'bypass',
                 ),
         ),

This means that I should in fact define English as L=0 and this will 
lead to having url of the form

http://mydomain.tld/some/page in default language whatever it is
http://mydomain.tld/en/some/page in English
http://mydomain.tld/fr/some/page in French
...

and pages will be indexed twice, once for the "default" language and one 
when it is well defined. This is OK but I think I would prefer telling 
RealURL to always redirect to the default language and get the default 
language prepended to the URL whenever I access my website without a 
language parameter. I do not know whether it is possible?
