Question

I am writing a paper and am wondering what the proper way is to write a sentence from a different language and then to put a translation. For example:

My aunt said, "mune pani joveche" (I want water).

Would that be the right way to write it?

Answer 1

Yes, that would work fine. You could also put the words from a different language in italics instead of in quotation marks. Either way works fine.
