Have a look at Ruby annotation. It is designed to do just this and I
think it requires less effort and improves on cutting+ pasting by
allowing you to take only one language stream.

A long time ago, I worked on creating interlinear text (inspired by
Karl's work on GnomeSword) but could not quite get it working. I've
revisited it because of the interest in a SWORD web interface for the
iPhone.
So now it works on FireFox, IE and Safari.
You can take a look at it here:
