What is the correct way to mark a section as a translation?

I am often in the situation where I would like to cite a source in another language, and as such include my own translation alongside the quotation.

I have been told that translation is a form of *paraphrase*, and as such using quotation marks is inappropriate as it isn't verbatim.

On the other hand, I would like to clearly mark which parts are a translation from the source and which parts are my own. What is the best way to go about this situation?
