Indeed. We have a Universal Language Selector for 3rd party websites already. This one would be super-duper great. This is where Wikidata can play its part as well!
As for images, we have already a PageImages extension in all wikis, and we have Wikidata, where item properties may point to images.
Also, there's Navigation popups[1] while with api.php?action=query&prop=extracts you can get the text of page lede, or N first sentences. To summarize, almost everything (or eveerything) needed for this project is already available, so in a couple hours of hacking it should be possible to hack the navpopups to work in the way described in the proposal. I wonder how much reasearch have the proposer done before making it public? Nevertheless, I'm not saying that this proposal is not worth a SoC, however it should be heavily revised based on input from this thread, then we could decide if it has enough potential.
