Thank you for your time.

Unfortunately you're going to have to wait; the upgrade path from Panels 2 (with panel pages) to Panels 3 has not yet been written.

I translate panels by placing multilingual blocks inside of them.

At least that's what I did in D5, but I can't find them in D6. I also haven't figured out how block translation should work with D6+i18n.

Damjan, could you please tell us how you do that, starting right from content (page, article, ...) creation ? Currently I'm only creating custom content in panels, hard-linked to page nodes, so it's obviously not the right way to do it, AND I have this panel translation problem as well (when I click "translate" on a panel node - say /node/1, it only creates a *new* panel, /node/2, and it's not displayed properly ie - when displaying /node/1, selecting another language w/ the built-in language selector block still displays /node/1, untranslated.)

Starting in what will be Panels 3 alpha3, you can set pane visibility by user language, which will allow you to have something resembling translatability for custom content. It is probably not as good a solution as we might like but it will have to do.

Blueblade, there is not yet any upgrade path. Panels3 is simply Panels 6.x-3.x. There is an alpha2 release and a dev release, and by the sound of it, an alpha3 may be coming shortly. They are all downloadable from the regular projects/panels page.

xaccrocheur: To use multilingual blocks in Drupal6, activate the Block Translation module, which comes with the i18n internationalization module. Then, when you add/edit a block, you can specify which, if any, language it is to be associated with. Then the block will only be shown when appropriate (when its language matches the language of the page or user or whatever rule is in play).

Then you can add the multilingual block to a panel and it should only show up when called for.

That said, Panels2 for Drupal6 does not completely work, and Panels3 is in a big time state of flux and is unfinished, so your mileage may very.
