How about:

(?=\pL)(?![a-zA-Z])

This will match a letter in any alphabet that is not a latin letter:

not ok - cityدبي
ok - city
not ok - دبي

Try this :

[a-zA-Z]*[^A-Za-z \d]+[a-zA-Z]*

Means : One or more non latin letter preceded or followed by one or more latin letter i.e. a word containing atleast 1 non latin character. See demo with some random text: http://regexr.com?326s3

You may need to adjust this regex to your needs,and include things like digits,special characters,word boundaries as per your input.

just use [^a-zA-Z] if not match, it should contain an international character...
