Dynamic Variables Jekyll Liquid

Question

I would like to use dynamic variables for my jekyll + liquid installation. I want to dynamically access the _config.yml file using the dynamic variable names.

It is best

The title that you want to pull is form the site config. Not the page itself. All you need to do is change the call in your Default Layout listing to this:

{{ site.locales[site.default_locale].title_homepage }}

When you set default_locale: "en" the output will be "This is my homepage title!". When you update the _config.yml file to default_locale: "pirate", the output will be "Yaaawwwr. Homepage title." I've tested this on Jekyll 0.11.2 and it works as expected.
