In IOS Gallery for any picture you can put multilingual title and description.

Or you can use that bot Easy Gallery (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/image-galleries/222.html) on your content items of your site.
More Info about the usage of Easy Gallery bot at Elxis Wiki : http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Easy_Gallery

*Content Items must have enabled the comment system ;)

To be able to comment IOS Gallery pictures you have to:

1. Create a module that will display the comments and the comments form.
2. Add a module position in your template's index.php file that will be displayed bellow IOS Gallery and only on the page that you view images. In this template position you will display the above module.

Now, for the comments. Elxis has an integrated commentary system that can be expanded to any component you wish (it is not just for the content items). So, the development of the module is more like a copy-paste from the component content with a few changes. Not too hard to be build.

I'll have to look into this as I'm not sure I understand how to virtually do it.
How do you build a module position (in a certain position I mean)?

To add the module position is the easy part, you do it via the elxis administration console. The hard part is to build the module.
