i list my question as follow:
htaccess for subdirectories
i just install PHPMYFAQ in the subdirectory.and the root directory is Wordpress.
my host is Linux,apache.

a part of my .htaccess in phpmyfaq is

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /faq/
# PMF faq record page
# * http://example.com/content_1_1_<LANGUAGE CODE>.htm
# * http://example.com/content_1_1_<LANGUAGE CODE>.html
RewriteRule content_([0-9]+)_([0-9]+)_([a-z\-]+)\.htm(l?)$ index.php?action=artikel&cat=$1&id=$2&artlang=$3 [L,QSA]

I'm not sure I fully understand the problem, but in addition to rewriting the new "friendly" URLs to the original script path, you will need to change the links on your pages to the new 'search-engine-friendly' URL format.

There are three steps to implementing 'friendly' URLs:

1) Add an internal rewrite (as you have done) to pass requests for friendly URLs to the original script.
2) Modify the pages or the script which generates those pages to output 'friendly' URLs in the links on those pages.
3) Add an external redirect to redirect only direct client requests for the old 'unfriendly' URLs back to the new 'friendly' URLs. This last step is optional, and is not always possible if the unfriendly URLs do not contain all of the information needed to determine the new friendly URLs.
