...which is clearly the problem here.

If it's meant to be recognizable and translatable, use something like  
Latin that no one speaks natively, but is recognizable and  
translatable by a significant proportion of the player base.  Or just  
use an interesting code.

If it's not, then make it total gibberish, that no one can translate  
no matter *which* series they read or obscure fake languages they've  
learned.
