Is it possible to have captcha images in another languages? i.e. captcha internationalization.
It's quite possible, and wouldn't necessarily be too difficult; it just hasn't been done yet.
We pretty much just need a secret set of non-offensive recognizable words in the language which are comprised only of characters in the font that we're using (and the font could be changed easily enough).
... but I think it would be better to use random character captchas, and automatically extract acceptable characters using the top 20 characters used in articles titles, perhaps with a manually adjusted confusing character exception list. There would need to be some code so you could ask for a language-foo captcha while on langauge-bar Wikipedia.
