You need to load your plugin’s translations files using the function load_plugin_textdomain().

function my_plugin_load_plugin_textdomain() {
    load_plugin_textdomain( 'my-plugin', FALSE, basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages/' );
}
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'my_plugin_load_plugin_textdomain' );
