How it works

How to Translate Products to Marathi

Get your product catalog translated and ready to sell in three simple steps

  1. 01

    Import your products

    Connect your e-commerce platform or upload your catalog as a file. WISEPIM takes over titles, descriptions, attributes and categories.

  2. 02

    AI translates to Marathi

    The AI translates your catalog with your glossary, your protected terms and your instructions per market. Numbers, units and model numbers stay as they are.

  3. 03

    Review and publish

    Review the translations and publish them to your sales channels. That way you reach Marathi-speaking customers without going through an agency.

Example

One article: what changes, what stays

An example from a sanitary catalog. Texts and option values are translated. Numbers, units and article numbers stay exactly as they are.

One article: what changes, what stays
Product nameThermostatic shower mixer, surface-mounted, DN 15, chromeTranslated, with the terms from your glossary
Material (option value)BrassTranslated once for every product with this value
Connection1/2"Stays 1/2"
Flow rate22 l/minStays 22 l/min
Article numberTB-4415-CRStays TB-4415-CR (protected term)

In a Catalog Jobs translation run, a text whose numbers, units or protected terms do not match the source waits in the Review queue instead of going live.

Checklist

Marathi Product Information Checklist

Make sure your product data is complete and optimized for Marathi-speaking customers

Product Content

  • Build titles in the order your channel expects: brand, product type, key spec, model
  • Keep article numbers, EANs and model codes untranslated as protected terms
  • Use one term per concept across the whole catalog, set in your glossary
  • Translate safety notes and claims exactly, and never add new ones
  • Check that bullet points name the same specs as the source

Attributes and Specifications

  • Translate option values once per attribute, not per product
  • Keep spec values identical: DN 15, 1/2" and 22 l/min stay as they are
  • Write decimals and thousands the way the target market does
  • Mark brand and series names as never translate
  • Check units the market writes differently, without changing the value

SEO and Discoverability

  • Keep meta titles under 60 and meta descriptions under 160 characters
  • Use the search terms buyers in the market use, not literal translations
  • Translate the alt text of your images
  • Map your categories to the category names of the market
  • Set hreflang tags for every language version

Culture and language

Marathi Culture and Language Insights

Understanding the local culture is key to successful product translations

Recommended Tone and Style

Use a Mixed tone with a respectful, polite, community-oriented, value-conscious style when writing product descriptions.

Key Considerations

  • Respect for elders and authority figures is paramount in communication.
  • Family values and community ties are strong; content should reflect this where appropriate.
  • Price sensitivity is high, but value for money and product quality are equally important.
  • Visuals should be culturally appropriate, avoiding anything that could be perceived as controversial or disrespectful.
  • Clear and direct communication is appreciated, but always delivered with politeness and deference.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming pan-Indian cultural references or festivals apply universally across all states and communities.
  • Ignoring the significance of regional festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, which is highly important in Maharashtra.
  • Using overly casual or informal language, especially in professional or transactional contexts.
  • Not providing popular local payment options, which can lead to high cart abandonment rates.

Translation tips

  • Engage professional translators who are native Marathi speakers and possess a deep understanding of local cultural nuances.
  • Adapt content to reflect local idioms and expressions rather than literal translations to ensure authenticity and resonance.
  • Ensure product descriptions highlight value, durability, and practical benefits, often emphasizing family well-being where applicable.
  • Localize all numerical formats, including currency (INR), date formats (DD/MM/YYYY), and measurement units.
  • Pay close attention to the transliteration of brand names and product names to ensure correct pronunciation and positive perception.

Localization

Localizing for Marathi-Speaking Customers

Translation is just the start. Adapt your content to local expectations for maximum impact.

  • The metric system is standard across India. All dimensions should be in centimeters (cm) or meters (m), and weights in kilograms (kg) or grams (g).
  • Clothing sizes generally follow the EU sizing system (e.g., women's 36, 38, 40; men's S, M, L, XL). However, it is crucial to provide a detailed size chart with actual body measurements in centimeters, as local brands may have variations.
  • Shoe sizes are typically based on the UK system (e.g., UK 7, 8, 9), but EU sizes are also widely understood and accepted. Providing both, for example, 'UK 7 (EU 41)', is recommended.
  • Weights for consumer products should be listed in kilograms (kg) for larger items and grams (g) for smaller items. For example, '250g' for a food product or '5 kg' for a bag of rice.
  • Dimensions are typically expressed as Length x Width x Height (L x W x H) or Height x Width x Depth (H x W x D), with units clearly specified, e.g., '15 cm x 10 cm x 5 cm'.

  • Date format is typically DD/MM/YYYY or DD-MM-YYYY. For example, '31/12/2025' or '31-12-2025'.
  • The decimal separator is a period (.), e.g., '1,234.50'.
  • The thousand separator is a comma (,) but follows the Indian numbering system (Lakh/Crore), which groups digits differently after the first three. For example, '1,00,000' (one lakh) for 100,000 and '1,00,00,000' (one crore) for 10,000,000.
  • Currency is the Indian Rupee (₹). The symbol is placed before the amount, usually with a space. Example: '₹ 1,23,456.75'.
  • Time format commonly uses the 12-hour system with AM/PM (e.g., '2:30 PM'), although the 24-hour format is also understood in official contexts (e.g., '14:30').
  • The week officially starts on Monday.

  • Utilize a mix of vibrant lifestyle photography showing products in relatable Indian family or social settings, alongside clear product-focused shots. Authenticity and warmth resonate well.
  • Feature models that reflect the diverse Indian population, including individuals with Marathi features. Multi-generational imagery (e.g., families using a product together) often performs well.
  • Design aesthetics can vary from rich, intricate patterns (especially for traditional goods like jewelry or ethnic wear) to clean, functional interfaces for modern products, but generally, bright and warm color palettes are preferred.
  • Images of people with direct eye contact are generally acceptable and can convey trustworthiness. Group shots, particularly of families and friends, are highly effective for products aimed at social or household use.
  • Embrace imagery related to popular Marathi festivals (e.g., Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali) and traditional Indian motifs (e.g., paisley, rangoli patterns) if relevant to the product, ensuring cultural sensitivity and respect.

  • Red is highly effective for sales, discounts, and calls to action. It signifies auspiciousness, purity, and passion in Indian culture, making it a powerful color for promotions.
  • Blue and Green are strong colors for conveying trust and reliability. Blue is often used by banks and corporations, while green can signify growth, prosperity, and eco-friendliness, resonating well with natural products.
  • Gold, combined with deep maroon, purple, or black, signifies luxury and premium quality. Gold is deeply associated with wealth, prosperity, and traditional Indian opulence, making it ideal for high-end products like jewelry or fashion.
  • While black can denote modern luxury, it is also associated with mourning and negativity. Use it carefully and balance it with other vibrant colors, especially for products related to celebrations. White also has associations with mourning, so use in combination.
  • Saffron (a specific shade of orange-yellow) is a sacred color in Hinduism, representing sacrifice and purity. Use it with respect and awareness of its strong religious connotations, avoiding trivialization.

Local SEO

Local SEO Tips for Marathi

Optimize your product content for search engines in Marathi-speaking markets

  • Prioritize optimization for Google, which dominates the search engine market in India. While local business directories like Justdial are important for discovery, organic search primarily happens on Google.
  • Conduct extensive keyword research for Marathi keywords in both Devanagari script (e.g., 'साडी' for saree, 'पुस्तके' for books) and Hinglish variations (e.g., 'best mobile shop near me Pune', 'मोबाइल दुरुस्ती पुणे'). Many users switch between scripts and languages.
  • Integrate specific geographic modifiers in Marathi for major cities and localities (e.g., 'मुंबई', 'पुणे', 'दादर', 'नागपूर'). For instance, 'कपडे खरेदी मुंबई दादर' (clothes shopping Mumbai Dadar) is a common search pattern.
  • Focus on building local links from prominent Marathi news portals (e.g., Maharashtra Times, Sakal, Lokmat), regional blogs, and local business directories like Justdial and IndiaMART to enhance local authority.
  • Ensure your website uses a .in ccTLD and is hosted on servers within India for faster load times and improved local relevance. Implement hreflang tags for 'mr-in' to target Marathi speakers specifically.
  • Optimize for mobile-first indexing and voice search, which is rapidly growing in India. Craft content using natural, conversational Marathi phrases that people would use when speaking into their devices for local queries.

Marathi Product Translation FAQ

Common questions about translating products to Marathi

WISEPIM translates with the glossary and do-not-translate terms from your Knowledge Library, so product names and fixed terms come out the way you set them. It handles product descriptions, technical specifications, and sales copy. It typically delivers 95%+ accuracy. You can review and edit every translation before publishing, and reviewer feedback can become new glossary terms and settings for the next run.

It depends on the size of your catalog and the number of languages. Bulk translations run in the background as a job, so you can keep working, and you get a notification when the results are ready to review. Before you start, a free preview shows how many texts per language need translating and what the run costs in credits.

Yes, within the rules you set. The AI adapts tone, wording and formatting to the target market, and you steer it per project with a glossary of fixed translations, words that are never translated (brand names, model codes) and your own instructions. In a Catalog Jobs translate run, every new translation is checked for kept numbers and units, protected terms, intact HTML and length limits, and a text that fails waits in the Review queue instead of going live.

Yes, if you turn on SEO optimization in your translation settings. Meta titles, meta descriptions and meta keywords are then written for search in the target language, with natural keyword placement and the original meaning kept. With it off, they are translated faithfully at a similar length. In a Catalog Jobs translate run, meta titles over 60 characters and meta descriptions over 160 go to the Review queue.

Yes, you have full control. You can edit any translated content directly in WISEPIM and push the changes to your connected sales channels. If you update the original product description, you choose whether to translate it again or keep your manual edits. On paid plans, the operation history lets you undo changes at any time.

Translation runs on credits. A standard translation of one product into one language costs one credit, and a higher-quality tier costs more per product. Before every run, a free preview shows how many texts per language will be translated and how many credits the run takes, so you can start with one category.

Yes. WISEPIM translates from your project's main language, so your source data does not have to be in English. You pick the target languages for each run.

Push it to a connected shop, export it as a file or feed from Feed Hub, or share a read-only Brand Portal in the languages you choose. Dealers browse it, download the data or import it into their own WISEPIM.
