Sorry, I was on vacation :-) There ya go:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:MyLangNotify.js

Try it with an image that has no language tags:

And one that has {{de}} and {{en}}:

If your user language is in the description, it will emphasize your
language by increasing the font size. If not, it will (not so) kindly
ask you to add a description in your language (see the page heading).
This works only on image pages.

Cheers,
Magnus
