Ditto has now been released in the latest patch, and I would like to catch one.
What are the conditions to capture a Ditto? Does it show up on the nearby tracker? Or will it transform into something?

You can click on that image of goldeen. The box will close and the map will notify you where the goldeen is.
They are there to notify you that the Pokémon you are attempting to catch is affected by one (or two) medals that you have achieved from catching 10, 50, or 200 Pokémon of the same type.
It is currently unknown exactly what these medals' +1/2/3 bonuses do, but they do improve capture rate somehow.
The updated medal functionality is new as of Android version 0.42.2 and iOS version 1.11.2.

Best Answer
First of all, you won't just see a Ditto on your list of close Pokémon that you can catch. Ditto will first appear in your game as just a regular Pokémon. After catching the Pokémon, it might transform back into a Ditto, and it will then be added to your Pokédex. So you won't know it's a Ditto before that point. You can see an example in the video here.
As for now, the current list of Pokemon which can hide a Ditto is pictured below. So just keep catching those, and you might end up with a Ditto.
Also note that if you get a Ditto after catching a specific Pokémon near you, anyone catching this exact same Pokémon will also get the Ditto.
