There is no global rule about what language players can submit their decklists (how could there be?) However, individual tournaments can make a request for decklists to be submitted in certain languages so as to help the judge teams. For example, most GPs expect decklists to be written in English as this is the language we expect all judges at GPs to be able to speak/read sufficiently for the event.
Most of the time, decklists in foreign languages are not too difficult to decipher (most Gatherer style smart phone apps handle multiple language card searches). If it is an issue then you just need to set the expectations at the beginning of the event as to what you want players to do.

Is any sort of infraction appropriate if a player submits a decklist
completely in a language that it would be unreasonable to expect the
judge staff to be able to handle?
