You have two options depending on context:

1) If it's a quick exchange and can be figured out in context, put the foreign language in italics.

"As-tu le livre?"

"Yes, I have the book here."

or inline:

"You filthy p'taQ!" B'Elanna snarled.

2) If it's a quick exchange without context, put the translation afterwards and italicize that.

"Pour ma peine, ma punition, je tourne en rond," he sighed. For my pain, for my punishment, I pace in circles. Now Picard understood.

inline:

"Qa'pla!" Successs! the Klingon shouted.

In any case, I would not have more than one or two exchanges in a foreign language. Either use a tag like "she said in French" so the reader realizes the characters aren't speaking English, or note in narration "they discussed the matter in French for some time, but as Malcolm didn't speak the language, he had to wait for a translation."

The tone in “Barbara Frietchie” is one of admiration. The speaker clearly admires the stand that Frietchie takes when supporting the Union in front of the Confederate troops. Words such as bravest, loyal, and honor show that the speaker admires Barbara Frietchie’s courage. The poem also has a patriotic tone. This is evident when Frietchie tells the Confederate commander to shoot at her and not at the flag. Frietchie is proud of her beliefs and cannot bear to see the commander disrespect the Union flag. That is the word for word so you will need to change it up a little bit for the teacher not to notice. The tone in barbara Frietchie is admirable. The speaker clearly admires the stand that Frenchie takes when helping the union. Words such as bravery, loyal show that the speaker admires Barbara Frietchie’s courage. The poem also has a patriotic tone. This is evident when Frenchie tells them to shoot at her and not at the flag. Frietchie is proud and will not see them shoot the union flag.
