Typo3 Default language label and flag

I'm working with Typo3 v6.1 and trying to set up multi-language site. The problem is that I can not change the default language label. What am I doing wrong?

According to this and this, here is my TypoScript config 

###################################################
# language handling
###################################################

mod.SHARED {
    defaultLanguageFlag = de
    defaultLanguageLabel = Deutsch
}

config {
    sys_language_uid = 0
    language = de
    locale_all = de_DE.UTF-8
    htmlTag_langKey = de_DE
}

[globalVar = GP:L = 1]
    config {
        sys_language_uid = 1
        language = en
        locale_all = en_GB.UTF-8
        htmlTag_langKey = en_GB
    }
[end]

So language settings work and I can localize pages, but default language (uid = 0) is still displayed as Default and not Deutsch. I thought that maybe I'm using old settings and I tried debugging through Typo3 core, looks like these settings still in use in several places, here is one of them:

#/typo3/sysext/backend/Classes/Configuration/TranslationConfigurationProvider.php
$languageIconTitles[0] = array(
    'uid' => 0,
    'title' => strlen($modSharedTSconfig['properties']['defaultLanguageLabel']) ? $modSharedTSconfig['properties']['defaultLanguageLabel'] . ' (' . $GLOBALS['LANG']->sl('LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_mod_web_list.xlf:defaultLanguage') . ')' : $GLOBALS['LANG']->sl('LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_mod_web_list.xlf:defaultLanguage'),
    'ISOcode' => 'DEF',
    'flagIcon' => strlen($modSharedTSconfig['properties']['defaultLanguageFlag']) ? 'flags-' . $modSharedTSconfig['properties']['defaultLanguageFlag'] : 'empty-empty'
);

The problem is that Typo3 seems skipping load of my setting (though I do see them in Object browser). After that I tried also on older version of Typo3 - 4.7.12 and it didn't work out too (((

UPDATE: According to biesior's answer I need to add that code to PageTS config. That works for both Typo3 versions (4.* and 6.*) but also important to know this concepts. And there is a possibility to change the default (i.e. global) PageTS config on behalf of extension:

# /ext_localconf.php of your typo3 v6.* extension:
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPageTSConfig(
    'mod.SHARED {
        defaultLanguageFlag = de.gif
        defaultLanguageLabel = Deutsch
    }'
);

or

# /ext_localconf.php of your typo3 v4.* extension:
t3lib_extMgm::addPageTSConfig(
    ...
);

You should put the mod.shared stuff in page ts (edit root page properties) not setup ts.

This code need to be placed in PageTS (of the root page) not in the TypoScript template

mod.SHARED {
    defaultLanguageFlag = de
    defaultLanguageLabel = Deutsch
}

Just edit properties of the root page, go to the Resources tab, and paste it to Page TSConfig field. Don't forget to clear configuration cache after saving.
