Use Commons' structured data, which is multi-lingual.

[Sadly, much of it is polluted with generic "tags", by another WMF-led project; see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Structured_data/Archive_2020#Is_this_really_how_it's_supposed_to_work? et seq. I'm still waiting for RIsler (WMF) - or anyone - to answer the points raised in February, in Commons:Village pump/Archive/2020/02#Misplaced invitation to "tag" images. Those being the points he said were not being ignored; and including (but not only) "requests to show where there is consensus for the tool to operate, or to use depicts statements in the manner it is [and] requests to explain how the tool, or the invitation to tag, can be turned off."]

@Pigsonthewing -- yes, I was thinking about that, too. I think something we'll do in January is run counts on how much structured data exists in which languages. This will give us a sense of many image matches we would be able to propose that have captions in the local language, and we can see whether there would be sufficient volume. In our user tests so far, users are being pretty careful about making matches, e.g. they want to make sure the church in the image is the church being described in the article, not just a church. I will try to learn more about how often the depicts statements are specific enough to help with that. What's your take?
