$conf['i18n_variables'] = array(
  'site_frontpage',
);

Can you explain a bit more about what you are doing dude - not sure I follow exactly what you are trying to do (what are you doing with $is_front and where?)

I just wanted to use $is_front in the page.tpl.php

I see this in the comments 

 * - $is_front: TRUE if the current page is the front page. Used to toggle the mission statement.

But I don't see it set anywhere in page.tpl.php ?
where does this originally get set ?
what might intercept this ?

Thanks for you time
