This can be made simpler I believe. Just 

location /en/(.*)$ {
  index index.php;
  try_files $uri $uri/ /en/index.php?$1; 
}

should do the trick. Try it.

Also you'll need to create another location for = /en/index.php.

location = /en/index.php {
   fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;                 
   fastcgi_index index.php;                     
   fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;  
   include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
}
