Surveys in Marathi · मराठी
Create a survey in Marathi
Write your survey in English. People who are more at home in Marathi pick मराठी and answer every question in it, on any phone — no translator, no second copy of the survey.
What respondents see
The same question, in Marathi
The screen on the right uses SurveySetu's real Marathi interface text. The question is an example of the kind of translation respondents get; your own questions are machine-translated when someone picks Marathi.
Your question, in English

- Not satisfied
तुम्ही तुमच्या स्थानिक वीज पुरवठ्याबद्दल किती समाधानी आहात?

How it works
Running a survey for Marathi speakers
Build in English
Use the builder or a template. Short, plain sentences translate best.
Offer Marathi
In the survey's language settings, offer Marathi — alone or with others — and star it as the default if most of your audience reads it.
Respondents answer in Marathi
The survey opens with a language picker; respondents can switch language at the top of the screen at any time.
Results in one place
Choice answers from every language add up in the same charts, with a breakdown by language. Typed answers arrive exactly as written.
Marathi on SurveySetu: the details
- Marathi is written in the Devanagari script. SurveySetu shows it with the phone's built-in Marathi font, so respondents don't download anything extra.
- Questions and answer options are machine-translated into Marathi, checked to really be in Devanagari script, and cached, so everyone answering in Marathi sees the same wording.
- Place names in targeting and location questions are localised too, using their district and state as context.
- Setu can read each question aloud on tap with the phone's own Marathi voice. If a phone has no Marathi voice installed, the text still shows; only the read-aloud is unavailable.
- Marathi and Hindi share the Devanagari script but are translated separately, so Marathi respondents see Marathi wording, not Hindi.
Questions about surveys in Marathi
Do I have to write my survey in Marathi?
No. You build the survey in English and SurveySetu translates it into Marathi automatically when a respondent picks Marathi. You don't need a translator or a second version of the survey.
Can respondents type their answers in Marathi?
Yes. Open-text answers come back exactly as the respondent typed them, in Marathi (मराठी) or any other language, and choice answers from every language are counted together in the same chart.
Can I make Marathi the default language?
Yes. In the survey's language settings, offer Marathi (with or without the others) and star it as the default, so the survey opens in Marathi for everyone. Respondents can still switch language at the top of the screen.
Is the machine translation always perfect?
No machine translation is. Keep questions short and plain, avoid idioms and abbreviations, and open your survey link in the language yourself (or ask a native speaker) before you share it widely. If a translation service is briefly unavailable, a line can show in English until it is translated.
