I would like to approach it from the opposite direction: if you master regular expressions well enough and know from your architect what the target language is, you are in a much better position to understand how you can implement the requirements. We routinely develop prototypes with regular expressions in Javascript and ask our developers to implement it on the target environment. The language then turns out to be much less of an issue, since the prototype regex can usually be copied with some syntactical modifications.
