I once created the linglang plugin to handle mixed-language texts 
(http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2292) but haven't used it much 
since. You'd have to create a file with words that are likely to occur in 
French text.

For French, I think it would be sufficient to search for vowels with accents to 
determine whether it's English or German. There is no way to decide on the 
language of an empty buffer though. :-)

I made good experiences with determining a text's language using compression 
algorithms (i.e. zip). It's rather easy to implement and relies on different 
compression factors of text written in different languages. I can point you to 
an implementation in ruby if you're interested.
