import detectBrowserLanguage from 'detect-browser-language'

export default () =>
  <h1>{detectBrowserLanguage()}</h1>
```

```js

import React, { Component } from 'react'

export default class Page Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    const detectBrowserLanguage = require('detect-browser-language')

    return <h1>{userLanguage}</h1>
  }

_**PS:** Works with other libraries as well._


## Why

If you have a website that has `intl` implemented use this library to get user preferred language instead trying to guess the language based on their geolocation. I might be in France but that does't mean I speak/read french.
