Assuming you already know how to extract the text from all these file types. You need to analyse the text and then compare all the words to their counterparts in every known language to see if they exist. When you have tested every word and more than some percentage (say 95%) are only English then you can be reasonably confident that all the text is English.

As you can see this is not a trivial task.
