Yes, you can. If you provide a regex and sample strings, we can help.

You're not seriously implying that the presence of eight-bit characters implies non-English, are you?
That's just one end of the character set, and has nothing to do with language.

This is highly non-trvial. It's easy to check for languages that don't share the same alphabet as English (they'll be using characters way outside the ASCII range), anything using Latin-1 is a lot harder. You might be able to find a stray accent mark, or see a few odd characters that are included in Latin-1 but aren't in English, but that's about it.
