Delete files not in English language

Hi All,

I have some 10,000 files in a directory. Now, some of those files are in English and many are not. They are in other languages like Arabic, Chinese, German, Portuguese, Japanese etc.

Is there any way to delete those files that are not in English as I want to only keep English files and remove all others?

I am using Linux and BASH.

Description
       The  language  support databases used by are stored in the directory If either the language support databases are moved or you specify your
       own language support database, it is necessary to set the INTLINFO environment variable to the new location of these tables. The syntax	of
       this environment variable is identical to See the reference page for more information.

       Should  you  want to create your own database, use the reference  page and the Guide to Developing International Software as references for
       what information your database should contain.  After you create the database, you can specify it by using the international compiler,

       The following table defines the supplied settings of the LANG and LC_ environment variables.

       ---------------------------------------------------------------------
       Database      Language	Territory	 Codeset       Use
       ---------------------------------------------------------------------
       ENG_GB.MCS    English	United Kingdom	 DEC MCS       VT200 series
       FRE_FR.MCS    French	France
       GER_DE.MCS    German	Germany

       ENG_GB.8859   English	United Kingdom	 ISO Latin-1   VT300 series
       FRE_FR.8859   French	France
       GER_DE.8859   German	Germany

       ENG_GB.646    English	United Kingdom	 ISO 646       VT100 series

       In addition to the default collation definition for the GER_DE.nnn language, Digital provides a character  collation  table  that  collates
       information  using  the	German telephone directory ordering of data. The following example shows how to set the variable to use this table
       with the ISO Latin-1 codeset:
       LC_COLLATE = GER_DE.8859@P_TELEPHONE
