I agree with Christophe that what you seem to be describing is interlinear
translation.  Here's an example:

\f Gratitude is the sign of noble souls
\t bain           athivas          on  taithir
\m bain      -0   atho -iv  -as    on  taith     =dir   -0
\g gratitude -[A] be   -hab -pres  -   indicator =thing -[P]
\p n         -nom v    -asp -tense ptp n         =nsfx  -abs
\x gratitude      be               -   sign

\t menimmion       vegael
\m manim -i   -ion ve-    gael
\g soul  -plu -of  descr- nobility
\p n     -num -gen adj-   n
\x of.souls        noble
