Solution to what? Surely not to the question that was asked, though perhaps
to the question that the OP _meant_ to ask. It's probably still the wrong
question.

No, it is a definite _disadvantage_, since now you would not even try to
select the user's preferred language but the language of the browser's
interface. This language is very often English even though the user knows
just a little English and prefers quite other languages. The simple reason
is that many browsers (especially new versions) are available as English
versions only.
