Answer 1

I have a better one - with PHP :

.htaccess:

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/word/[^/]+$
  RewriteRule ^word/(.*)$  http://example.com/special_redirect.php?q=$1 [L,QSA,R=301]

./special_redirect.php

This above copes with German umlaut chars but it is adaptable for the simpler cases of "_" to "-" and so on...
