There is a case pending that may answer this in court: Paramount v Axanar.

You could also just commission a conlanger to make a language for you, so you have one that's bespoke, fitted to your specific needs / setting / aesthetic / etc, and w/ translations by the person who made the language. (LCS offers that service, FWIW: jobs.conlang.org.)
