I trying to figure out with one should I use. I need to make multiuser and multilingual site. There must be a forum and nice user accounts. This content must be translateable and I would like to add tags field to my user accounts.
I haven´t tested Elxis enough and I have to finnish this one before 16 January :)

I hope you don't expect to tell you to pick Drupal... ;D
In any case regardless that this is the Elxis forum I always suggest people to use the software that best meet their needs.
This is your choice.

I like drupal...wonderful system. But it seems always a big problem to move to the next version. The drupal developers are very proud to always implement new ideas into the next version (this might be the reason for the big community)... but this means you have a lot of work to make the transition to next version or you stay with the old :-)
Perhaps Elxis is not such aggressive in breaking the depencies to the old versions?

All versions of the same generation (2006.x, 2008.x) in Elxis are backwards compatible and we release official patches and/or automatic update scripts. But there is no way to update (at least officially) an Elxis between 2 generations as the differences are huge. This happened with the move from Elxis 2006.4 to 2008.0. So, in Elxis it is easy to keep your Elxis site up-to-date if you have the last Elxis generation installed.

I got same problem with drupal. I just have more experience with Drupal, but now I try Elxis first and Drupal will be backup :)

The overall choice is what you want to do in the end but as far as multi-lingual is concerned, I can say that Elxis is a more power choice with the exception that it does not have a built-in translator. In the end though, machine translators are not capable of producing exactly what people want translated.
The only way to really have a translated site is to use the services of human translators.
If your intent is for blogging, then you probably want to use Elxis because you will be able to combine other extensions for more versatility. Depending on whether or not you intend to have a large number of users, you can use Elxis normal features as a blog or if you will only have a few bloggers, then you can use the e-blog feature.
As you mention that you have a deadline, Elxis is ready to go along with a good selection of templates to download.

why elxis haven't built-in translator?

to this i must agree but elxis in fact has a built-in translator not better but not worst of any other cms

I am sorry but this a unique Elxis feature (a personal pattent). There is no other CMS that has this feature!
It is different to translate a page on the fly using babelfish than what Elxis does with the translation...

Sorry, my error.
Elxis does have a built-in translator but it may not work in every language. This is why I forget because I do not use it.
