The View it! API has been updated to support a ?caption=true query parameter. When provided, the API will return captions in all available languages for each image.
This is done by making a call to the Commons action=wbgetentities endpoint and requesting labels. Example:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&sites=commonswiki&titles=File%3ANASA-Apollo8-Dec24-Earthrise.jpg&props=labels
Example when requesting https://view-it.toolforge.org/api/Q2?captions=true:

...If no captions are available, captions will just be an empty object {}.
The View it! script has been updated so that the boilerplate thumbnail's caption will be set to the image caption in the user's language. If one isn't available, the thumbnail caption will continue to be Insert caption here. (with localization coming soon).
