Hi,

was spending the last two hours trying to translate the front-page in drupal 7. Can't believe this isn't in core, but that's something different. I just wanted to ask how to do it right... I now did it in the hook _variable_boot and there i wrote 

i18n_variable_set('site_frontpage', "node/13", "ru");

for example. I know, this can't be the way to do it. Even in drupal 5 you could edit the settings.php and add the fields you wanted to translate... Is it because of the alpha state or did I get something wrong?

I would be glad to here the solution after searching so long...

Thanks and greets!

I installed http://drupal.org/project/variable
Enabled all the variables here admin/config/regional/i18n/variable (sire_frontpage is not on this list)
Then changed one I did not need to site_frontpage here admin/config/system/variable/edit/i18n_variable_conf
Now when you navigate to site information, front page is a multilingual variable.

Thank's for your hint! I tried it and this way is much more reasonable, even if it is hidden very well...

Path variables were not marked as translatable by default. If you upgrade to latest variable module you'll see they are now.
