Tammy, a widely-used test for French, Spanish, and German is the CAPE. 
https://www.softstudy.com/products/CAPE.cfm
I have a lot of experience administering it, so feel free to call me if
you decide to implement it and want tips.

For Italian and other languages not supported by CAPE, we have used
Blackboard. Incoming freshmen get a Blackboard ID when they pay their
enrollment deposit to the university, so they can take the exam over the
summer before arriving on campus.

Dear all,

I am looking for on-line alternatives to the college FL placement test. 
We currently administer the Iowa French test to entering students at
registration, but students who register by phone (and cannot travel to
campus) don't take it. Placement gets very messy. Is there anything out
there for French, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese? I will appreciate
any suggestions, experiences you may have.

Merci d'avance,
Tammy
