Is there a true multilinuagl gallery for Drupal 6? But easy to manage gallery, that a blong secretary could manage ;) I need the user could easily add galleries, images and sort them. A multiupload feauture like SWFupload is also required... Thanks.

They're really separate items. Browse the media category to find a gallery module you like. You can add multilingual features to drupal with the core content translation and locale modules as well as the http://drupal.org/project/i18n contributed module.

Nope :) This is a comon misunderstanding about multilingual galleries. Via i18n Drupal "translates" the content as duplicating the node, and in the gallery case this node is an image and gallery node. Now imagine you have a gallery you want to translate in 3 languages. You create this gallery, click "Translate" and translate it to the other 2 languages. And here comes the PAIN. You will find you have 3 separate galleries, one with images, two empty. Why so? When you translate the gallery you create a NEW node that is not asociated with the image nodes from the source gallery node. This is the first problem. The next problem is you have to modify the gallery module to filter by language (couse I don't know a gallery module that handle i18n out of the box).
So, they aren't separate items. I need a gallery that is tought to be multilingual.
I don't understand why after so many years of Drupal polishing there isn't one trully gallery solution with multilanguage capabilities, multiupload, drag and drop arranging of galleries and images, slimbox / graybox...

nope indeed. It all depends on how you implement your galleries. You dont say specifically which method you're talking about, but since you have both images and galleries as nodes that's probably the issue. I would imagine using imagefields and taxonomy would address this. Back when I last played around with it, it seemed to work fine. I haven't tried it recently though-- but now you have me curious. ;-)
As to why there isn't one already-- either there is a method of doing it already that people are using, no one has had the need, or no one who has had the need has contributed it back.

I've tried several galleries, but I liked PROG Gallery the most (it has AJAX drag & drop arranging and multiupload). I need a real gallery module. Taxonomy is not an option for me, couse I need the site moderator to manage the galleries (add, delete, modify, translate, arrange). And in the most cases this moderator is a pretty blond girl, that doesn't understand anything about taxonomy... she just needs a simple interface with bullet proof workflow. And I haven't seen such a gallery so far except PROG Gallery, but it doesn't handle i18n... :(

i circumvented the taxonomy gallery management issue with the http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_delegate module.
I'll have to think on this some (i have a multilanguage site which will probably need galleries on my todo list). There must be a way to solve this with the use of i18n. Having a single multilanguage gallery module apart from core locale/translate and i18n just doesn't seem very 'drupally' to me.
I might be as simple as adding some integration with the rules module to be able to set up rules for the translation workflow for galleries and images.
Right now I'm testing the
Right now I'm testing the Rules module, and the bad news is i18n is not supported by it. I have the idea to automatically create a translation on new node creation type image.
I asked a few days ago about this here - http://drupal.org/node/373834

Yeah-- i didn't think it would be. But rules is meant to be easily extended, i plan on looking into what it takes to expose some i18n specific triggers and actions.
If you have success it would
If you have success it would be great. I always wanted automatic translation on node creation.
If you made it, then I could make PROG Gallery multilingual easily :)

I'll definitely post back once i have a chance to take a look. Seems like a common enough need-- i would imagine others could use it as well.

I wrote an extension to Rules module to translate nodes. I posted the code here: http://drupal.org/node/373834
what about your idea?

If you use the method described at http://www.lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach (and implemented via the views_gallery module), I think you'll have i18n friendly galleries since both galleries and images are nodes.
The method works, I've
The method works, I've already used it. By the way is a great example of views_attach+nodereference_url usage and can also be used in 18n scenarios.
It provides a views_gallery module which basically does what is also explained here about node references.
Here are the steps i follow:
0. Gallery nodes and GalleryImage nodes have to be set to multilanguage and NO language neutral.
1. Create Gallery node(s).
2. Translate the Gallery node(s).
3. Add GalleryImage nodes to the default lang Gallery node(s).
4. Translate GalleryImage nodes: the new nodes will be linked to the Gallery node(s) translations
The advantage of having GalleryImage nodes instead of cck mage fields is that they can be easily and naturally integrated with taxonomy filtering (categories, tag clouds...)
