Deductions & credits

I'm not sure where you are seeing this message. Foreign tax would be paid in foreign currency.  You only need to convert it to USD.   https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/yearly-average-currency-exchange-rates

You cannot report in TurboTax the foreign taxes in foreign currency but you do not need to.  Just enter the USD amount.
