Not sure what you mean by "still"; perhaps you're not aware that TTBOMK Google no longer considers so-called "joke languages" for translation? So even if you propsed the language -- or even if you produced a fully-translated strings file -- I don't think it would be implemented. The ones that were there in the beginning, stay, but no new ones get added. (They have a point, I think; otherwise everyone and their kitten might want to have their language or word game included and (a) those translations would probably be badly maintained, i.e. not be updated when the English is updated, and (b) the list of language to choose from would become very long indeed.) But you could try contacting them and asking anyway; the address is on the FAQ (http://services.google.com/tc/faq.html).

My cousins, who taught me this language game, called it "Räubersprache".
