This is a mapping connected to the URL variable "L". This is in the URL 
(when RealUrl is disabled) a numerical value. The mapping needs to work 
in both directions.

In your setup you have two preVar values 'en-EN' and 'en-DE' connected 
with a single value for "L".
TYPO3 generates a URL /index.php?id=24&L=0 , how is RealUrl supposed to 
know if it should use 'en-EN' or 'en-DE'? Without looking in the code I 
guess it will switch the keys and value in the valueMap array and ends 
up connecting L=0 to 'en-DE'.

You need to assign the 'en-DE' pages to a different language then the 
'en-EN' pages. These languages can be added as language records in the 
root of the installation. Then you can use the uid of that language as 
"L" parameter.
