This is the view that the later Wittgenstein argued against. 
True, interpreting 'bicycle' requires knowing a language. 
But a picture of a red bicycle needs interpreting too. 
Does it mean a generic bicycle, your bicycle, a metal object, 

a red object, an object with two wheels, something manufactured, 

etc.?
