If we run a bot to add a [[Category:No language templates]], we are at the same point IMHO.
A picture with an {{en}} template would be skipped. Instead we should mark it with the following categories:
[[Category: no french template]] [[Category: no german template]] [[Category: no spanish template]] [[Category: no italian template]]
etc..
This way people can work. French people work on french templates, italian on italian, and so on. If we have just a category ([[Category:No language templates]]), this will be overfilled.
Better do it at the toolserver. So you can ask to a page: give me some pages without X translation which have in Y or Z languages.
I strongly agree: use the toolserver, not categories. We do need some way of really encouraging people to add translations, and figure out which ones need them (esp. starting with POTD/FP and QI) but I don't think categories are the way to go. Possibly invisible templates, but a toolserver thing that can just figure it out is even better.
Bouncey2k, thanks for starting the itwikipedia page. I hope it takes off!
