I would save the text to be added to a .png, and then use ImageMagick's composite tool (imagemagick.org) from a commandline.

Hello,

For example, mark/select 20 jpeg pics, add text such as "Rome Trip dd/mm/yy" and save back so that all 10 pics will have this line of text inserted as part of the picture file (see when looking at the pic itself).

as already suggested image magick can do this very easily with just a few minutes reading the man page.

if this is something you will be doing often, it is a fairly nice operation to start to learn to script gimp with.
