It’s not possible to test for English only but you can test for ASCII characters only, as listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Standard_Code_for_Information_Interchange#ASCII_printable_characters
This regex should work, as it only allows characters from 0x20 to 0x7E inclusive:
Results
This would match (English): I love you
This would match (French): Je t’aime
This would not match (Japanese): 愛している
