Use of the verb 'ask'

A very good 2016 to you all!
I put a question, let's say, in French and then I ask: (1) How can I ask it in English? Is the use of the verb ask correct in this sentence? I think we would probably say: (2) How can I say it in English? But if I want to use the verb ask, would it be acceptable to use sentence (1)?
Thank you.
