A general sed statement to get all languages changed:

Code:
sed 's@\(<pathurl>file:///Volumes/\)White%20Stage/2%20Stage%20capture/\(\(DE\|FR\|ES\)_.*\.mov</pathurl>\)$@\1ctu/\3/4.\\ Final\\ Cut\\ Pro\\ Documents/Capture\\ Scratch/\2@' <your_xml_file>

This will work for all three languages you've mentioned.

However, what you must do is redirect this to a different file. It must be a different file.
You can then rename the new file to the old file name.

So a bare bones shell script might look like the following:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

oldFile=$1
newfile=${oldFile}.new    #just put a ".new" extension onto the oldFile

sed 's@\(<pathurl>file:///Volumes/\)White%20Stage/2%20Stage%20capture/\(\(DE\|FR\|ES\)_.*\.mov</pathurl>\)$@\1ctu/\3/4.\\ Final\\ Cut\\ Pro\\ Documents/Capture\\ Scratch/\2@' ${oldFile} > ${newFile}

mv ${newFile} ${oldFile}

Obviously test this before moving the newFile to oldFile to make sure you are getting the results you want.

locale::language

Locale::Language(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       Locale::Language(3)

NAME

       Locale::Language - standard codes for language identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Language;

	  $lang = code2language('en');	      # $lang gets 'English'
	  $code = language2code('French');    # $code gets 'fr'

	  @codes   = all_language_codes();
	  @names   = all_language_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Language" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying languages, such as those as defined in ISO 639.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639 two-
       letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying languages. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
       that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lang = code2language('en','alpha-2');
	  $lang = code2language('en',LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_2);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha-2, LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_2
	   This is the set of two-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-1, such as 'he' for Hebrew.  It also includes additions to this set
	   included in the IANA language registry.

	   This is the default code set.

       alpha-3, LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_3
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) bibliographic codes from ISO 639-2 and 639-5, such as 'heb' for Hebrew.	It also includes
	   additions to this set included in the IANA language registry.

       term, LOCALE_LANG_TERM
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) terminologic codes from ISO 639.

ROUTINES

       code2language ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       language2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       language_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_language_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_language_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::rename_language  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::add_language  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::delete_language  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::add_language_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Language::delete_language_alias	( NAME )
       Locale::Language::rename_language_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::add_language_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::delete_language_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
