It depends on the broadcaster. DVB EIT may contain component_descriptors.
Here is a random sample from dvbsnoop, notice the "eng".
http://dvbsnoop.sourceforge.net/examples/example-eit.html

     DVB-DescriptorTag: 80 (0x50)  [= component_descriptor]
             Descriptor_length: 6 (0x06)
             reserved_1: 15 (0x0f)
             Stream_content: 2 (0x02)
             Component_type: 3 (0x03)
                == Content&Component: (= audio, stereo (2 channels))
             Component_tag: 2 (0x02)
             ISO639_2_language_code:  eng
             Component-Description: ""

It may be possible to filter by "has at least one audio track that is 
not known to be in a specific unwanted language" so missing data or 
signaling of "original audio, whatever language that may be" gets handled.
