Well,... If you really wanted to do it then it could be done.

Create a set of rules that look for any of the most common spanish
words - especially any that use high-bit characters. With enough of
these it should be broad enough to catch most... The trick is to
include words that are also not common in normal conversation on the
local system.

That would be an awfully aggressive filter though - and a bunch of
work. Of course we can contract to code any ruleset that's possible. I
suspect there aren't many systems out there that can afford to be so
aggressive - but that's just my guess.
