If your document is set entirely with a single language [such as English (US)], turn on spell check and zoom out so you can see the red squiggly lines but not read the words. Draft view zoomed out to 50% will display a lot of content at once without the overhead of page layout. This will let you scan through to find clusters of red squiggly underlines that are most likely to be your foreign sentences. Use Ctrl-Roll to zoom in and out to examine any such instances as you review the document.
Tip: Set up a custom character style for the foreign language so you can apply it to all found instances. For example, my custom style named charSpanish is set with Language=Spanish and Font color=Green. When applied to Spanish text, the spell check will use my Spanish dictionary and the text will be displayed in Green for easier recognition during editing and proofreading. When I need to print the final, I just change the style definition to use Font color=Automatic (but the language can stay as Spanish).
