For most purposes, you can just say something like: "'Blah blah blah', the man said in French.'" Or if a lot of things are said in the same foreign language, maybe establish that things said in that language are written in italics or something. Or if the viewpoint character can't understand it, say something like, "Jane muttered something in French."

In writing, it's rarely necessary to actually write dialogue in a foreign language - and in most cases, it's probably best not to.

I disagree. Using foreing languages, when used well, add another dimension to a narrative.

Of course, it must be justified, but when it does, I enjoy those bits inmensely. One of my favorite novels have a chapter playing with three or four different languages, and every one of them said a lot about the characters, their background and their intentions. I really liked that, even if I could only understand two of those languages.

But of course, the writer must do a lot of research to use this effectively and not ending looking like a fool.
