open translate.py in any code editor. inside you will find a tuple array named LANGS just add your value to the end of array. Tuple's first item must be lproj folder name without lproj, second will be the google translate language key. you can find this value inside google translate url parameters

https://translate.google.com/?sl=de&tl=ko&op=translate

sl=de	start language de which is German
tl=ko	target language ko which is Korean

eg: korean localizations are represented as ko.lproj in Xcode korean represented as ko in url parameter of google translate so if you want to add korean append this line to LANGS array

("ko" , "ko")
