I am trying to build a multilingual blog with this configuration:

```auto
languageCode = 'ro-RO'
defaultContentLanguage = 'ro'
title = 'Blog'
theme = 'ananke'
enableEmoji = true

[languages]
  [languages.ro]
    contentDir = 'content/ro'
    disabled = false
    languageCode = 'ro'
    languageDirection = 'ltr'
    languageName = 'Română'
    title = 'Blog'
    weight = 1

  [languages.en]
    contentDir = 'content/en'
    disabled = false
    languageCode = 'en'
    languageDirection = 'ltr'
    languageName = 'English'
    title = 'Blog'
    weight = 2

  [languages.es]
    contentDir = 'content/es'
    disabled = false
    languageCode = 'es'
    languageDirection = 'ltr'
    languageName = 'Español'
    title = 'Blog'
    weight = 3

```

I want to have posts translated in each language. I start by creating one for the default language with

`hugo new content content/ro/my-post.md`

When I generate the HTML content with `hugo -D`, I can see the post listed in the home page of the default language. Now, when I try to create the same post for the English language with

`hugo new content content/en/my-post.md`,

what I see is that the file is created in _content/ro/content/en/my-post.md_. Also, it is not shown in the English home page but in the home page of the default language (basically, it is duplicated).

I expect this post to be created in _content/en/my-post.md_ and be displayed in the home page of its language.

I can’t understand what is going on or what I am doing wrong

What happens if you run

```auto
hugo new content/ro/my-post.md
hugo new content/en/my-post.md

```

I am not sure, but I feel like the extra `content` is not something required or useful… I could be wrong though.

Apparently, now the content is correctly created in each language folder. I think that the language folder must be manually created.  
If the folder does not exist, the content is added inside the default language folder. I am not sure, though
