Redirecting in Cpanel (how?)

Hi all,

One of my clients will have different languages on her website in the future. The idea is to locate the different files in different folders, eg:
domain.com/en/
domain.com/fr/
domain.com/de/
etc...

Since the first language that'll be online will be English only, I thought it'd be best to redirect all traffic from www.domain.com to www.domain.com/en/ using the redirect function in CPanel. Unfortunatly I can't get it to work. When I set it like...
From http://domain.com >>> http://domain.com/en/
.. the domain won't shop up at all and Mozilla gives me a redirect error; it seems to loop. Is there another way (except HTTP refresh headers in the index.html on the root of the domain)? I thought it'd be most fancy if the server redirected it (als search-engine-wise smarter thing to do) ...

Let me know!

You could always suspend a site and look at the redirect syntax in there (or ask us to VIA helpdesk/email), even if you created a new site to do so. That redirect *always* seems to work, thus it should give you a decent idea.
