Regular expression mod_rewrite (htaccess)

[Geradeaus]

I use htaccess to rewrite the url using the following rules :

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)?$
index.php?lang=$1&page=$2&id=$3

The only problem I have is when http://www.domain.com/admin is given,
the "admin" is used as $1. How can I define the rule for every word
given except "admin" ?

Thanks in advance!

Use a rewrite condition to exclude this case:
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html#RewriteCond>

Something like this perhaps:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^admin.*$
RewriteRule ...
