</div>

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?

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:

```auto
[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"

```

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