SpamAssassin can do this, take a look at the SpamAssasin docs http://www.spamassassin.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html [ok_languages and ok_locales are the directives you'll be interested in], add the approriate directives to spam.assassin.prefs.conf (in the MailScanner configuration directory).  If this isn't enough on its own you could also increase the score for the tests triggered (mentioned in the above link) to increase the likelihood of mails in a foreign language to exceed the spam threshold.
