Smt. (Shrimati) is the standard honorific (akin to Mrs. in English) used when referring to an adult female (only for married women) in various Indian languages, including Bengali, Hindi, and Sanskrit, and sometimes in English as well (in an Indian context). The equivalent title for men is Shri (often written Sri).

Yes, I would leave it as Shrimati, adding (Ehefrau) in brackets, as you suggest.
