Exactly.

I think a version of "DANGER! Nuclear waste, do not disturb!" in a couple dozen language like they have in user manuals for electronics and stuff, and maybe a selection of visual warning symbols to be safe, would work much better. That way, even if all current languages are no longer commonly known, there should be enough info to figure out at least one of them (a bit like how they did with the Rosetta stone).
