However, it would be feasible to check if a comment is, or is one of, English, Spanish, <insert language(s) of choice>
How would you be able to tell what the language is without sending it for translation?

Hmm... interesting
Probably not going to implement this, especially with YouTube pushing for multi-language audio for videos, it is possible there will be more international comments

(Optional) Additional Info / Context
I know the discussion of translate each comment to make sure it's not spam has been brought up several times and really isn't feasible for a VAST number of reasons.
However, it would be feasible to check if a comment is, or is one of, English, Spanish, <insert language(s) of choice>
This will be a less strict, but more advanced, filter than ASCII-Only. This would allow channel creators to ensure the comments match the languages they want for the channel. The most appropriate language for the channel or video can be pulled from the youtube data API under
<object>.defaultLanguage
,<object>.defaultAudioLanguage
(videos only), and<object>.Localizations
