you didn't mention the field 'l18n_diffsource' that is also required.

The following lines should be in your ext_tables.php: 

'copyAfterDuplFields' => 'sys_language_uid',
'useColumnsForDefaultValues' => 'sys_language_uid',
'transOrigPointerField' => 'l18n_parent',
'transOrigDiffSourceField' => 'l18n_diffsource',
'languageField' => 'sys_language_uid',

in tca.php there are 3 additional fields required:

sys_language_uid
l18n_parent
l18n_diffsource

that should it be for the BackEnd.
