redirect pages with locale to a normal page

[janmontano Profile]

Hi,

We're receiving a lot of duplicate errors because of the locale of a page

1. http://www.masterpet.com/en-NZ/Dogs/
2. http://www.masterpet.com/en-AU/Dogs/
3. http://www.masterpet.com/Dogs/

The URLs listed above serve the same content.

Now how would I redirect http://www.masterpet.com/en-AU/Dogs/ and http://www.masterpet.com/en-NZ/Dogs/ to http://www.masterpet.com/Dogs/
We don't need the en-NZ and en-AU pages anymore so we want to get rid of it.

Please take note that the NZ and AU pages are not specific for the DOg page. It exists on all our pages.

So I'll need a formatted redirect or something.

e.g.
REDIRECT http://www.masterpet.com/en-NZ/* to http://www.masterpet.com/*
REDIRECT http://www.masterpet.com/en-AU/* to http://www.masterpet.com/*

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
