Hello there,

I’m new to Hugo and I’m building a blog with two languages coded as `eo` and `fr` . I have a page in `content/eo/primi.md`. But, for now, it is generated in `public/primi/index.html`. I would have expected to be in `public/eo/primi/index.html`.

- Is this generation normal ? (`hugo.toml` below)
- How to set up the url so I have to put `/eo/` or `/fr/` to get to the language ? (Yes, I am aware that it means that `domain.tld/` wont be enough to access my website)

Thanks !

`hugo.toml` :

```auto
baseURL = ‘https://domain.tld/blogo/’ # it's not the original domain
title = ‘My New Hugo Site’
theme = ‘nightfall’

defaultContentLanguage = ‘eo’
defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = false
disableDefaultLanguageRedirect = false
disableLanguages = 

[languages]
[languages.eo]
disabled = false
languageCode = ‘eo’
languageDirection = ‘’
contentDir = ‘content/eo’
languageName = ‘Esperanto’
title = ‘Mia blogo’
weight = 5
[languages.fr]
disabled = false
languageCode = ‘fr’
contentDir = ‘content/fr’
languageDirection = ‘’
languageName = ‘’
title = ‘Mon blog’
weight = 10

```

And the three content of `content/` :

```auto
~/website $ tree content/
content/
├── eo
│ └── primi.md
└── fr

3 directories, 1 file

```

Thank you in advance !

This should be `true`.
