Is there a such thing as localized captchas?

turn off the captcha requirement?

It's really a matter of configuration; the core captcha code is
intrinsically language-agnostic.
The existing captcha code takes input from a file with a few thousand
short words in, then generates the captchas from a pair of those words.
To localize the captcha, all that is needed is to arrange that a
different word list (and image pool) is used for each language.
If you have a language you want the captcha implemented in, a good first
thing to do would be to create a list of say 4 to 5,000 short words in
that language for use by the captcha code.
