 Very unfortunate that this is not an in-built Wordpress feature as it
 causes problems with search engines and analytics. This .htaccess solution
 works like a charm, however.

 How would you have to change the expression to capture URLs like this as
 well: /lc/post_id/ whereas lc is a two-character language code like "en"
 for english or "de" for German and so on. This is relevant for
 multilingual plugins such as WPML. Redirection destination then would be
 /lc/post_id/post_name/
