thre are two - GIMP cna use both scheme or Python - and the calls
can't get much simpler -
they just require information.

Since both are full featured langauges that allow you to define
functions, you can inside your script,
define a function that will render the required text on a given layer,
position it at a fixed porportional heihgt, and center it on the image
using nothing but simple arithmetic and GIMP provided API.

(And also, load several images from a folder, open a text file, and
match the text to the image based on name, or whatever you want to
do).
