Where would I find a list of locale name abbreviations for my project localization folders? (Such as en for English, fr for French).
I am looking to do German, Spanish and others.

Select your root project file, and then proceed to the project panel. Find the Localization section section, click the “plus” (+) icon, and add the desired languages. Select only the Localizable. strings file for localization.
In computing, a locale is a set of parameters that defines the user's language, region and any special variant preferences that the user wants to see in their user interface. Usually a locale identifier consists of at least a language code and a country/region code.
iOS can be localized into 100 languages and regions, but only 33 languages (plus 6 regions) are supported in App Store Connect. (Apple has translated iOS itself into about 40+ languages.) That means your app can be localized into some languages, like Chinese Hong Kong, but the app descriptions cannot.
LPROJ files mostly belong to Mac OS X Localized Project Folder. Not really a file, this is typically a folder that contains localized versions of file such as ReadMe, Welcome, and License files or background graphics. These localized files are used by install makers to customize install packages.
You can just call them English.lproj, Spanish.lproj, etc.
The "abbreviated names" are actually IETF language tags (i.e. BCP 47), except that you use pt_PT.lproj instead of pt-PT.lproj.
The actual interpretation routine is in https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/master/CoreFoundation/PlugIn.subproj/CFBundle_Locale.c, determined by the CFBundleGetLocalizationInfoForLocalization function. Replicated here:
