URL Redirect, htaccess. Capture and insert after string if string is not found – Apache

I’m hoping to get some help with an htaccess solution for the following redirects:

Case 1) the user enters domain.com it should redirect to domain.com/nl

Case 2) if the user enters domain.com/nl or domain.com/fr it should not redirect

Case 3) the user enters domain.com/some-path it should capture the url path and stick /nl in front of it, domain.com/nl/some-path

So far I’ve tried the following rule:

Redirect 301 ^((?!(?:)nl($)|(?:)fr($)).)*$ domain.com/nl/$1

However in Case 3, only the final character of the path is selected and not the whole ‘some-path’.

Using multiple rules is ok too, but can it be done in a single rule?

    It can be done in single rule like this:

    RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !s/+(?:nl|fr)[/?s] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /nl%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NE,R=301]
