You are likely to have to create a prefLabel-LANGUAGE for each of your desired languages to get around it, trouble is though, that you can't get around the prefLabel cardinality if you derive these from it, so you would have to find another way. OWL doesn't care about literals really, it is more focused on ensuring that subjects and predicates are used "accurately", where accurately is decided by the ontology designer. Is there any real advantage to using prefLabel instead of a whole lot of alternates in your case anyway?
