As far as I know, the languages were based by Andrzej Sapkowski on an amalgamation of medieval Irish, Latin, and some other languages. I also know that those languages were not altered between the Polish original and the Russian translation, and I'm fairly sure they weren't altered in any translation. A quick skim through the original and an English translation suggests that this is the case with English as well:

Toruviel zerwała się z ziemi, chwytając i przypasując miecz, czubkiem buta szturchnęła w udo Yaevinna, który drzemał obok, oparty o ścianę wykrotu. Elf zerwał się, syknęł, sparzony przez gorący piasek, o który oparł dłoń.

I also know that those languages were not altered between the Polish original and the Russian translation. A quick skim through the original and an English (fan-) translation suggests that this is the case with English as well:

It is worth noticing that Sapkowski doesn't claim he created a language, a la Tolkien. In a 2001 interview (translated to Russian here and reproduced here), he says he merely created a few phrases based on existing and recognisable languages, in order not to write complete gibberish and then give a footnote explaining what it means.
