You could remove the /en part with the following rewrite.

rewrite ^/en(.*)$ $1;

	This might be the opposite of what the OP actually wants. I think they want requests to `/my-content` to actually go to the site at `/en/my-content` i.e. so the `en` no longer appears in the URL – nickgrim Sep 3 '12 at 13:16
	This snippet doesn`t work on my site. i dont know why. Are there any problems with varnish before the site? – derpiet Sep 3 '12 at 13:23
