Hi,

Your example can easily be accomplished using conditional text in InDesign. With conditional text you can make separate conditions for English, Spanish and French and then hide unhide them as needed.

I dont think there is a way within Indesign to use either grep or Find/change to replace language specific content.

While other professionals here suggest some better methods and techniques you can have a look at conditional text
