I would use a (very) few invented vocabulary words to indicate specific items which are unique to your created race, but put them in context so that the reader can quickly divine the meaning, or explain the meaning in narration.

Keep the invented-language lines brief, and use them more to illustrate the language barrier than to hold a conversation.
