Hi Alexandra, you have to use the language UIDs given you by YOUR TYPO3. You find it by clicking on 
list module, then clicking on the globe and pointing the mouse over the language symbol. f.e. MY 
english is 0 and MY german is 9

so you see "Espanol" and the flag in the BE instead of "default"

and this goes to your main-TS-template where you config your site (remember: nobody but YOU knows 
YOUR own language UIDs, you have to find them out first)

I also define it twice, the one without global for that case when there is no L-parameter given. 
Don't know if it's correct, found it on the internet given by a pro.

please also use f.e. for the english language:
   locale_all = en_GB.utf8 (if this lang is installed on your server)
to beware of getting unwanted formating when using things like dates, times and other country 
specific data

   htmlTag_langKey = en
to declare the contents of your html page to the given language

Please close every opened global, also don't know if its really needed, but it looks better in my 
opinion and it's not fault.
[globalVar]

this happens when you delete and create languages.

To find out the correct locale_all belonging to your server, you can run this little php-file on 
your server. (perhaps it did not work on all servers)

<?php
   echo "<pre>";
   system("locale -a");
   echo "</pre>";
?>

At least I show you how MY config regarding to language settings looks like (remember, it's in the 
setup of your main-TS-template:

# Konfiguration Default English
config {
   sys_language_uid = 0
   language         = en
   locale_all       = en_GB.utf8
   htmlTag_langKey  = en
}

# Konfiguration English
[globalVar = GP:L = 0]
config {
   sys_language_uid = 0
   language         = en
   locale_all       = en_GB.utf8
   htmlTag_langKey  = en
}
[global]

# Konfiguration Deutsch
[globalVar = GP:L = 9]
config {
   sys_language_uid  = 9
   language          = de
   locale_all        = de_DE.utf8
   htmlTag_langKey   = de
}
[global]

hope this helps

keep on, Andreas
