When you want to use a self administered psychometric tool to find out status of any particular psychological domain - say anxiety for a person who is not familiar with the language english - and the tool is available only in english - the tool has to be translated in the test individual's native language. The translated version has to be validated before using it on a reasonably large sample population to get a proper assessment.

What does foreign language mean?

A foreign language is a language that is not often used in a country. When most universities talk about "foreign language," they mean a language other than the main one spoken in your home, or other than the main language that most of your subjects were taught in when you went to school. To be considered a foreign language, the language has to be a language used by humans - so it can't be a computer language like C++ or Java. But if you're a native English speaker, it could be Spanish, or French, or Russian, or Mandarin, etc. Or yes, often, it can be ASL. If your actual question is whether or not ASL is considered to be a "foreign language" for the purposes of college admissions; or if ASL would fulfill your foreign language requirement at university, then the answer to that is often "Yes." If you're a native English speaker, for example, ASL could serve as your "foreign language." But that does vary by university, so you'll have to ask each one directly.
