Language automatically selected

I have a site that already have the language files (English and Portuguese Brazilian) and operating normally when the user selects your language by DropDownList, however would like the login screen and creating the login screen, the language was selected automatically based on the browser language (or other best).

What better way to do this?

You could take firstly language from browser info but I’ll leave capability to choose preferred language to the user (with the dropdownlist).
