.getBrowserLang() returns the FIRST default browser language. I just changed my chrome from "de" to "en"…ok…working. I wanted to change back to "de", but the german language was gone in the chrome settings, so i added it again and set it as the default browser language. After all of that, the .getBrowserLang() still returns "en", because my "de" setting was the last of three ["en-us", "en", "de"], and the .getBrowserLang() only returns the first browser language, but NOT the one which is set as the default language.

Like its name suggests, getBrowserLang returns the lang of the browser. If you want the lang setup for your application use this.translate.currentLang.
