.htaccess infinite redirect loop

I would like to redirect my pages in the following ways:

www.example.com/index.php?locale=it -> www.example.com/it

and I would like to access the same page when I type:

www.example.com/it

I wrote an htaccess file but it causes a redirect loop. Here is the file:

<IfModulemod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase / 

#REWRITE RULES #--------------------- 
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^locale=(it|en|fr|de|es)$ 
RewriteRule ^index\.cfm$ %1? [R=302,L] 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^index\.cfm 
RewriteRule ^(it|en|fr|de|es)/?$ index.cfm?locale=$1 [L]  
</IfModule>

Could you help me to resolve it? Thanks!!!
