How do you insert a translation of a word inside an integrated quote?

I am trying to write an essay on a book which has a lot of foreign words in it. It’s written in English but occasionally there are Persian words here and there. I would just like to know how do you include a translation of the word within the quote properly–do you just use brackets with the word inside? I can’t find this information anywhere so your advice is much appreciated.

  1. I am not a 100% sure, but If it were me, I would just write it in brackets inside the quotation marks. Or you can use asterisks and write the English definition at the bottom of the page (like foot-notes).
