Please try to purge caches. if it helps, let me recommend to put the following line into your config.php at your development machine:

$CFG->langstringcache = false;

What is your plugin type and plugin name? For all plugins, the expected location is lang/en/plugintype_pluginname.php. Only activity modules (plugintype 'mod') are exception as they use lang/en/pluginname.php for legacy reasons.

I'm making videoboard version for moodle 2.7. It is moodle module. But I can't solve this issue and can't understand why. I've attached my current lang file. New lines at the end of file.

OK. Make sure the get_string() call reads

get_string('maximumsize', 'videoboard')

or even better try to commit the version that does not work for you to a separate branch in your repository so we can see it in context. And turn the debugging mode to DEBUG_DEVELOPER and let those debug messages be displayed. It reports useful information on missing strings (such as expected location).
