Answer 1

Under the administrator panel in Joomla! you can find under Site - Global configuration - System:

This will allow you to see the Joomla! Debug console:

There you can see if the language file your are using is loaded. If it's not loaded, than your manifest file is not consistent.

I think that the problem could be solved with:

<languages folder="admin">

instead of

<languages folder="">

Also for your reference, the Joomla! documentation on "Specification of language files" may be a good read.
