I would say Babélico with a stress and the antepenultimate syllable (here the “e”) as it goes for similar adjectives in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
I concur with Aiki: babélico (not capitalized per Spanish orthography rules.
As far as what Castellanese is known as in Babelic, what about using a calque instead of transliteration, as was the custom in the old Chinese country names - e.g. 英國 (UK), 美國 (USA), 法国 (France)?
I have used 城國 (chéng guó / Gohangukian (AKA Korean): 성국 seongguk) for Castellán. This calques as “Castle-Land” which seems like an excellent approximation.
There was a long-held misconception that “Ardisphere” (Ardesfera) came from the Castellanese (Spanish) “arde esfera” (= “[a] sphere burns”). Although this was a false belief (in fact, the name comes from a native Altazorian word meaning “don’t come here”), nevertheless in the 18th century (the point in history when people like the Babelic or Gohangukians might have come in contact with Ardisphere for the first time), everyone believed it, so it was logical to calque this as 火國 [huǒ guó / hwa-guk] “Fire land”.
When I get my wiki account back, I will try to see what countries can be also translated in the same way. Hopefully the wiki page of each article have an etymology just in case, I do not want translaton errors!

Babelio? In Spanish for Chinese is Chino sooo..
Anyway, I would recommend a Babelic temple instead- possibly based on Taiwan folklore and beliefs.
I would translate Castellanese to 卡特兰语 (ka te lan yu)

@Luciano A good idea! I actually did use the idea for translating some countries in to Babelic, but it varies on the country.
I actually wonder why Ardisphere is the ‘Fire country’

Thank you all! I used babélico. If you’re interested, this is the church I mapped. I hope the Chinese translation is correct as well :)
Oh, and @zhenkang, I will build a Babelic temple later. It will also be in the neighborhood of the church.
