If you are not applying for your dependents then you do not need to provide any evidences for dependents...whenever you plan to apply for your dependent it would be a good idea to translate the marriage certificate in English..good luck!!

You'd better provide the marriage certificate along with your application as per the VAF 10 form even if your wife would not accompany you within the 12 months of your arrival in the UK.

The marriage certificate must be translated.

In the VAF9, it is mentioned "Unless single, please provide evidence of your marital status e.g. marriage or civil partnership certificate" in the Annex A - Supporting Documents Checklist under personal details section (last page). So, if you have one there is no harm in providing it.
