A lot of it depends on how the story's being related. Is it the protagonist reflecting on the events or is it happening "currently"? Is it limited third or omniscient?

If nobody around knows a single word of English, if I were you I'd keep referenced to the other language to the opening, as in:

The two guys walked towards the building.

"Blah blah blah," said the first in French.

"I agree," said the other in the same language. The narrative will now proceed to assume that the guys are doing whatever the first guy said while it tells the reader all about France (or whatever else it needs to).

OP:

I'm thinking either first person or limited third.

That's usually how I do it - with just mentioning it's not English somewhere in the beginning. Thanks!
