Moodle's get_string returns incorrect value

I' creating a moodle local plugin
I created a language file in local/myplugin/lang/en/local_usercertlist.php with some keys:
I created a language file in local/myplugin/lang/en/local_myplugin.php with some keys: 

<?php
$string['pluginname']="My Plug-in";
$string['testkey']="Test Val";

in lib.php I use get_string like this: 

get_string('testkey','local_myplugin')

But I get [[testkey]] instead of Test Val !

why? what is the problem?

The solution is to simply purge the lang cache via admin control panel.

local/myplugin/lang/en/local_usercertlist.php

Should be 

local/usercertlist/lang/en/local_usercertlist.php

and 

get_string('testkey','local_myplugin')

should be

get_string('testkey','local_usercertlist')
