Hugo new always put new files on /en/

support
1

the config file has defaultContentLanguage = "es"

and language config file

 [es]
  languageCode = "es-es"
  contentDir = "content/es"
[en]
  languageCode = "en-us"
  contentDir = "content/en"

examples

hugo new test.md 
/snip//content/en/test.md created

hugo new es/test.md
/snip//content/en/es/test.md created

there is no way for hugo to create files correctly?

the default for academic theme changing the default language to es does nothing if the language file have en and content/en folder set it will always put the new content there

That config.toml is not setting any multilanguage parameters necessary for Hugo, that’s why the content is showing up where it doesn’t belong.

It should have a block that looks something like this:

[languages]
  [languages.en]
    title = "My blog"
    weight = 1
    [languages.en.params]
      linkedin = "https://linkedin.com/whoever"
  [languages.fr]
    title = "Mon blogue"
    weight = 2
    [languages.fr.params]
      linkedin = "https://linkedin.com/fr/whoever"
      [languages.fr.params.navigation]
        help = "Aide"

Take a look here: https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/

language.conf file have

[es]
languageCode = “es-es”
contentDir = “content/es”
[en]
languageCode = “en-us”
contentDir = “content/en”

Alright, then you are using several files as explained here? https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#configuration-file

I haven’t used that method before.

Any chance you can share the full source code so we can run some tests?
