Default language suddenly not working?

support
1

Im confused. Ive picked up an old project. a hugoplate themed template.
I want dutch as default language. ill add english later.

defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = true
defaultContentLanguage = ‘nl’

In root hugo.toml, doesnt work. It will always use en. I cant disable english either, since it’s default.
The docs state clearly, that it should be in the root config file. And it is?
This is my languages.toml
[nl]

contentDir = ‘content/dutch’

disabled = false

languageCode = ‘nl-NL’

languageDirection = ‘ltr’

languageName = ‘NL’

Please share the entire hugo.toml file.

Seen two problems with your config

  1. top level keys below a table definition won’t work. (see TOML Table

    move your pagination settings behind the last top level key (after line 25)

  2. your disableLanguages is an array of arrays, should be a simple string array

    correct disableLanguages to be a plain array: disableLanguages = ["en"]

thanks. dunno why it was like that from the get go. Cant remember i’d changed anything since I left the project and never really read up on toml, using yaml mostly. Maybe some copilot change i accidently accepted.
