Pembahasan:

In translating words and sentences either from Indonesian language to English or vice versa, one has to ponder the essential stuff, they are the context and the proper vocabulary for such context. Without considering those elements, it will definitely confuse the speaker of the target language. Furthermore, the word-by-word translation is not recommended as it may not be suitable to the context.

In the sentence above, it can be seen that the speaker would like to know about the other's ability to speak English or more like permission to communicate in English since we don't speak their mother tongue, possibly to a stranger. Thus, it has to be using a proper register, either not to informal or rather formal ones. Here are the possible ones

'Excuse me, do you speak English?' - quite informal

'Sorry, do you speak English?' - informal

(we don't say 'sorry, can you speak English?' even though grammatically is correct because it does not sound natural in common English conversation. In addition, it sounds more like as if we are questioning the other's ability to speak English, not asking for permission to communicate in English since we don't speak their mother tongue.)  

'Pardon me, Sir or Ma'am, I wonder if you could speak English?' - semi formal
