Langauge issue with judge in 498a

Hello Members,

I appeared today in my 498A case. Judge asked me if i have any lawyer and i replied that i am appearing in person. Then he asked me that i cant appear in person without filing a formal application for it. Then he asked me if i know marathi and i replied that i am not very much comfortable. Then he said that he doesnt know hindi that much. Then i suggested him that i can communicate with him in English and he replied with saying that laguage of court is marathi and i need to speak with him or file an application in marathi only.

Please suggest if filing an application to appear in person is mandatory and what can be done with this language issue with judge?

Thanks
