Replace all tabs temporarily with something else. Then turn the document into a 1-column table in which paragraph breaks are row delimiters. Then translate that file. Then copy the column of the translated version and insert it before the column or the original file. Change the colour of that column. Then convert back to text so that tabs become line breaks. Then manually go through the text and delete the line breaks at headings. Finally, replace the temporary tabs with actual tabs.
