Is it possible to use content/language/contentfiles.md

I have a problem or maybe did not get it how the multilanguage works.

I would like to create a structure for each language and also use the correct name of the directory.

my structure now is:

content/
content/index.en.md
content/index.de.md
content/about/
content/about/index.en.md
content/about/index.de.md

would it be able to use content/{en,de...}/ and insert there the correct folders and the translated files? like

content/en/index.md
content/en/about/index.md
content/de/index.md
content/de/about/index.md
content/index.md
content/about/index.md

and inside the file can we tell the layout file?

Did you try defaultContentLanguageInSubdir? The multilingual doc says:

If you want all of the languages to be put below their respective language code, enable defaultContentLanguageInSubdir: true.

If we use defaultContentLanguageInSubdir: true all the files will fall under the folder with the name mentioned in defaultContentLanguage.

But here I want to have different folder structure is possible? Instead of writing content/index.fr.md, want to use content/fr/index.md.

Ah! Nope, that doesn’t work with the multilingual system in Hugo. The translation section mentions:

Translated articles are identified by the name of the content file.
