You have to be alert, when you have got an anonymous email with attachment with different language. So first of all you need to copy the body of that email but don't try to download the attachment first, first copy the text of the body in that email and browse Google Translate online tool. In that tool select Auto Detect the language option in the list and then paste the copied text in the left side box after that in the right side select your mother tongue in the list and press translate button next to it.
Read the translated text, if you feel strange then delete the mail and don't download it. because these days most of the anonymous emails are deleted without reading it by the receivers so if the translated text is OK i mean that is not strange then log out your email account and log out your computer user account then log in to a limited ( not admin) user account in your computer and browse the internet there and log in to your email address there.Then download the attachment and scan it with your updated antivirus. if it shows green signal then open it but some time that virus may not be detected by your antivirus because of that also that can be show green light, don't worry open it because you are in limited user account so no harm to your Pc, by the way please log out your email account before opening your downloaded file.
