 * I have played around with load_plugin_textdomain but that did’nt work.
 * load_plugin_textdomain(‘mvcPress’, ‘../wp-content/plugins/mvcPress/helpers’);
 * with and without the ../

 * okay, so i tried it,
    load_plugin_textdomain works ONLY if the direcdtory which
   you are giving it is a sub directory of plugins. Other than that, it wont recognize
   it!. What a rip off!.

 * yah thats terrible, I say scrap wp and go download some other better blog app.
 * The plugins directory is the plugins directory for a reason, and WordPress is
   made to know that to save ppl that dont know any better from using plugins from
   shleps that want to make them have another directory. The current system works,
   and is easy for ppl to understand.
 * WordPress id GPL’d take it, right your own version.

 * whooami!!!!!!!!! your the type of guy who thinks that abu down at the corner 
   store should go back to ***** because they dont find “Friends” funny.
 * i’m b1tching about this because this behaviour was’nt noted anywhere (that i 
   found), not because i dont like wordpress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So i thought i would
   let people know about it!.
