I'm using Trados 2015, and I was given the task to produce my translation (from Russian to English) in such a manner that each source sentence (or paragraph) is followed by the slash symbol and then by the target sentence (or paragraph):

An app Oct 6, 2017

There's an app in the SDL App Store that may help you, as it places the target right below the source for each segment:
