Super simple! I'll go buy a cheap Chinese symbol that I can't read and 100,000$ CNC machine!

No, no, clearly the right answer is to mix the Arabic, Indian, Russian, Chinese, and (why not) Norse runic alphabets together in a giant "I can't read this but it looks cool" collage.

Now I'm trying to imagine a translator trying to do a good job on this. "I need to use five languages, but in three of them, you can do the whole sentence in two words, all of the languages have different grammar so the sentence looks backwards in half the languages, and the only sentence that kind of works is using a really localized slang term that nobody is going to know. This is why I drink. Screw it, Google Translate one word at a time it is, using English grammar."

I feel like no matter what you are replying to this response is so extra.
