How to change .htaccess file to work right in localhost?

Question

I have this snippet code in my .htaccess file to prevent users from hotlinking the server's images:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^$ [OR] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?itransformer.es/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpe?g|png|wbmp)$ http://itransformer.es [R,L]

Of course, it is not working in my localhost, but don't know how to achieve it. My guess is that I should change the domain name with any wildcard. Any idea?

@voretaq7 - Thanks for the reference. Now I'm ready to begin understanding the syntax. I was really confused. — Manolo, Oct 30 '13 at 12:45
