I guess so. I'm not sure how well it is going to work for this, though. 

Usually we ignore the most common words in the language (stop words). In
your case it might make more sense to have a vocabulary of nothing but stop
words in each language, because that way you can pretty much guarantee that
you'll get a match in the correct language.
