As you all know, once you have installed the extension in the Joomla backend, a description will be shown. You can either have a simple description from XML, or have a language based on it. I have never had problems with language descriptions before, but this time I do it. The extension is an admin component and does not have an interface folder and is intended for Joomla 2.5.
When I install the component, the description is displayed as COM_PROJECTS_DESC
The language folder and files are in the right place, and the XML is displayed as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<extension type="component" version="2.5.0" method="upgrade">
<name>Projects</name>

It's a fuzzy thing, the description does not work during installation for the first time, but if I install a component (update) on it, it will work.
