Adding Special:MyLanguage on the foundationwiki will not achieve the feature you want: this special page redirects to the user language (of the user preferences), and nobody in the public has an account on this wiki, so everyone will be redirected to the English page (try on Meta with a private tab after setting the browser default language to 'de' or whatever).
I almost pointed out the same until I read Matthew’s mail, where he writes
I don't know why Kaldari wants it. But Fundraising can use it for our thank
you page. We would like to give a redirect like wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Thank_You/fi and have it go to the Finnish page, or English if that doesn't exist.
And so I learned about another feature of Special:MyLanguage. However, you’re right that detecting the user’s language from some other source than just (local!) user preferences might be even better.
