Can I have a language folder in config folder

[yousafblogger]

my-project/
└── config/
    ├── _default/
    │   ├── hugo.toml
    │   ├── menus.en.toml
    │   ├── menus.de.toml
    │   ├── languages.toml
    │   └── params.toml

or

my-project/
└── config/
    ├── _default/
    │   ├── hugo.toml
    │   ├── menus.en.toml
    │   ├── menus.de.toml
    │   ├── languages
    │   │   ├── en.toml
    │   │   └── de.toml
    │   └── params.toml

or any way for seperate params folder for each lanaguage.

Tell me the best and easiest way to manage lanaguages. Because there will be more than 20 languages

best and easiest

I think this will vary by project, but here’s one way to do it…

https://gohugo.io/configuration/introduction/#recursive-parsing

config/
└── _default/
    ├── foo/
    │   ├── bar/
    │   │   ├── menus.en.toml
    │   │   ├── params.en.toml
    │   │   └── taxonomies.en.toml
    │   └── baz/
    │       ├── menus.de.toml
    │       ├── params.de.toml
    │       └── taxonomies.de.toml
    ├── hugo.toml
    └── languages.toml

In the above I have intentionally used foo, bar, and baz to illustrate that those subdirectory names are irrelevant when Hugo recursively parses the config directory. This does exactly the same thing:

config/
└── _default/
    ├── languages/
    │   ├── de/
    │   │   ├── menus.de.toml
    │   │   ├── params.de.toml
    │   │   └── taxonomies.de.toml
    │   └── en/
    │       ├── menus.en.toml
    │       ├── params.en.toml
    │       └── taxonomies.en.toml
    ├── hugo.toml
    └── languages.toml
