how can i create frontpages with an alias?

http://www.example.com/de
http://www.example.com/en

and so on.

if someone comes to http://www.example.com - the user/bot should be redirected with a http status 301 to the language defined as default on the "admin/locale" page.

My default language is English.
I've created a page with an alias : en/home and assigned it under settings.
Created the Italian translation : it/home
Activated the front page redirection.

i don't like to create a special node for my frontpage. if i do so, the drupal_is_front_page check will fail and the node checkbox "display on frontpage" won't work... :-(((

Ok. Understood.
You need /node as frontapage but in different languages :

en/node
it/node
de/node

I'l transform this issue in a feature request and see to implement it.

thank you very much. this is one of the major i18n and localizer usability and search engine problems from my point of view. i hope this is not a big task and can be solved soon.

I think this can be solved creating a pattern for pathauto named [lang]. Everybody then can add [lang]/[title] to node path
