Reverse the words in english only (there are two languages in the column)

I'm trying to reverse the words in english because they came out reversed for example koobecaf should be facebook, here's the catch, there are words in a different language which came out fine so i dont want to reverse those.

 

My idea is to reverse the cells with english letters only while leaving the other language(a-z, A-Z).

 

note: the other language does not use latin letters so that should make things easier.

let
    Source = Sql.Database(ServerAddress, DbName),
    dbo_DVDR_LEADSOURCES = Source{[Schema="dbo",Item="LEADSOURCES"]}[Data],
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(dbo_DVDR_LEADSOURCES, each ([LEADSOURCE] <> 0)),
    Ad_Corrected = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Rows", "Corrected", each
      if List.ContainsAll({"a".."z", "A".."Z"} & Text.ToList(" .,/*-+=-!~';\/|"), Text.ToList([LEADSOURCENAME]))
      then Text.Combine(List.Reverse(Text.ToList([LEADSOURCENAME])))
      else [LEADSOURCENAME],
  type text)
in
    Ad_Corrected

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WKqlILVHIKM7MSc9zVYrViVbKzs9PSk1OdANzchOL0hNLivM8wbz0tJTiI71HFx5dCiLBQkf2HV0IFAWiwwuPLjy8FohXKsXGAgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
    Ad_Corrected = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Corrected", each
      if List.ContainsAll({"a".."z", "A".."Z"} & Text.ToList(" .,/*-+=-!~';\/|"), Text.ToList([Column1]))
      then Text.Combine(List.Reverse(Text.ToList([Column1])))
