Hi,

It's already implemented!  You can set the directory yourself:

define ("IM_DIR", "wp-content/plugins/ImageManager/");
define ("IM_DOMAIN", "ImageManager");

load_plugin_textdomain(IM_DOMAIN, IM_DIR);

Then:

__('A returned string', IM_DOMAIN);
_e('An echoed string', IM_DOMAIN);

Hope this helps,

Jamie.
